Modern Miner makes the news AND a few finds too!!!

[ModernMiner]

Folks, I was interviewed about a month ago by our local paper about my hobby, some of my finds, and some of the donations I've made to the museum.
The story went in the paper yesterday, AND I even made front page.
Hopefully I did our hobby proud. (Sorry ladies, that is not Brad Pitt )
Since the newspaper site isn't set up to just let you click on the link & read the story, I took photos of the actual paper and article. Sorry, but it's the best I could do.
Since the article I now have permission to detect a house built in 1804 and one built in 1875.
Here are a few finds I made in about an hour after work yesterday at the 1804 house.

*1954 Rosie

*1919 Wheat

*Lead RR seal - Any ideas on what railroad this was? It has "R & A. A. L. RR"

*Victorian era brooch

*Lead dog.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Congratulations on a great article Doug. I am in Alabama but it so happens that my Grand and Great Grand parents owned a farm between Oxford and Kitrell. I plan to go up and hunt it soon since I recently received permission. My uncle found a Civil war sword while plowing a mule a few years back. Would you be interested in going with me?

It would be my honor to hunt that spot with you. Just let me know in advance when you'll be coming up. That is prettty close to where I work.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Thanks ML.
If we could all just get the word out there that it is better to get these relics out of the ground, rather than letting them rot or get covered over with pavement.
