It's a Treasure to Me !!!!!!! Finally something not heavy !!! I'm HAPPY

Well guys and gals > since I became a member and have become addicted to MDing and this site, I have mostly found alot of iron !! some pieces were pretty heavy to lug around in the field. Lost the old axe , Laid it in the field , then spent 30 min. trying to find it back :-[

But today I went to where I knew an old house use to be >

left work early around lunch > Still has some old flowers that grow up wild here and there > what I think was the backyard > I hit a sound shallow to medium > didn't read coin :'(

but I dug anyway > it rained Sunday so it was easier to dig. Here I find a small doll and a little plate > both porcelain > I am a newbie so I am confused at why these would cause my MD to sing

I was wiping them off > amazed that they were not broken > but it is not a field , I stood up my MD went off again just holding it > I pin pointed it over the hold, down on my knees again :P and I dug this spoon up off to the side !! an old metal cream of wheats spoon> that is whats written on it. The little doll has Japan !! I clean this up with Barkeepers Friend > sort of like Comet cleaner. Well OK I know that it is a girly find > but Hi, I'm a girl

I love your finds. I think that it was about 1922 when they started putting "Japan " on the back of the porcelain....Congrats

Hey, I'm a guy and I like those finds. I found an unbroken heart shaped china plate a few months ago, and I still rate it as one of my best finds.

Very nice finds!!! That is a cute little doll, and the little plate could be a butter pat or maybe part of a child's play set. The advertising spoon is a nice find. You really should go back there and see if you can find some coins and other relics. I'd hit that place hard and often, it's not often any of us find such a rich site. Congratulations on your finds!
