Hi guys, went ghost town hunting today in NW Ohio. Found a sleigh bell, 1890 Indian head
penny, a half of a sleigh bell, some shot out of a cannon ball (heavy), a 1936 mercury
dime and a couple of broken arrrows. Pretty good day.
HH guys, Ringfinder
P.S. found a old thimble too!

Cool finds Ringfinder! You'll be surprised what all can come out of a GT. Keep 'em comin' and HH!
 
Ringfinder,

Nice coins, the 1890 Indian head is a great find. I'm sure there's alot more where those came from.

Good luck & HH,

Nice job Denny! The indian is in good shape. :) Also very cool "shot". Nice assortment of goods. Can you make out any initials on the half of the bell? I found one earlier this year with initials "WEB".

Excellent hunt and finds, love those old ghost towns! HH, Mike
 
working ghost towns off of sanborn fire insurance maps will fill wheelbarrows with relics/finds.....looks like you have a nice one to start in.............gldhntr
 
There is quite a few ghost towns and old out of use amusement parks in Ohio. If you google it, you'll find several websites dedicated to Ohio and its old days. I would love to get up there for a week or two and hit some of these places up!
Those are great finds, and best fo luck to you!

Hi guys, just an update on the picture, I summitted the wrong picture
It didn't show all of the bells. The big one is only a half sleigh bell and it
has a num. 10 on it. The little one dosn't have any number on it. I have found
several at this same site just like it. I hope to find a big one not damaged someday.

Thanks for all your comments and I hope you all get to
ghost town hunt where u live. It's a lot of fun, just make sure you check out
all the signals, you never know what you will pick up.

HH, Ringfinder
