MY FINDS TODAY 12/6/09 OLD HOME NEXT DOOR & GRAVE SITE

THESE ARE MY FINDS TODAY 12/6/09. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 7 1/2 ACRE FARM WITH ALOT OF HISTORY IN THE AREA. THERE IS A PHOSPHATE MINE ON THE REAR OF MY PROPERTY THAT WAS HEAVILY MINED SINCE THE 1800s. I THINK THE MINE CLOSED IN THE 1940s. I WILL HUNT THAT NEXT. THERE IS A OLD HOME NEXT DOOR AND A 2 HEADSTONE GRAVE SITE WITHIN 2 MILES FROM MY HOME WHERE I FOUND THESE ITEMS IN A COUPLE OF HOURS. THERE ARE 2 INDIAN HEAD PENNIES. ONE FROM EACH SITE. THE DATES ARE 1899 AND 1901. THE SILVER QUARTER IS A 1943. THE BUCKLE IS MADE OF BRASS,(I THINK) AND IT LOOKS HAND FORGED. DOES ANYBODY KNOW IF IT COULD BE FROM A CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS UNIFORM? PERHAPS A BELT OR STRAP OF SOME SORT. I ALSO FOUND AN OLD MATCHBOX CAR FROM 1973. IT WAS MADE IN ENGLAND. AS FAR AS I KNOW MATCHBOX HAS BEEN MAKING TOYS IN TAWAN OR INDONESIA FOR A LONG TIME NOW. THERE IS ALSO AN OLD DOG TAG. THE REASON THAT THE COINS ARE SO CLEAN IS BECAUSE I MADE AN ELECTROLOSIS MACHINE. IT IS GREAT FOR CLEANING COINS LIKE THE PROS DO. ANYWAY, ENJOY THE PICKS AND HAPPY HUNTIN. JOHNNY

Hi Johnny, I am hikeinmts. If I lived in central Fla. I would give you a buzz. But, I live in S. Korea, and that's a mite far for either of us to travel on the weekend. ::)

I was impressed by your willingness to share how you use the electrolisis. Seemed like the right attitude about this wonderful hobby of ours. So, I will share something with you. But, need you to message me
asking what the message is about, and I will send you an answer. (My answer will contain info on a very very old and nice prospective site in Central Fla that perhaps you can get permission to hunt.)
God bless. hike in mts

Thank you so much for that info! I am going to try making one for myself. I have lots of old "chargers" that will work... Where abouts do you live in Florida? Maybe we could hook up sometime and hunt together?

Nice finds BTW...
