NEW SITE, 7 INDIANS, TOKENS, MANY RELICS, NOT ON THE MAPS, BUSY 6 HOURS

[muddpuppy]

Hello T-Netters! I stopped in at the farm where I have gotten permission in the past to ask again. This time I ran into the father who retired this year at 74. He gave me a lead on a place I hadn't been before. That night I went to my online resources and none of them showed a house. The next night I went there and began the search. I hit a lot of iron about 75 yards into the field, but I believe it was a fence row. I had nothing after 1 1/2 hours. At this time I took a walk and did a big circle hitting all the high spots. Finally about 300-400 yards out I found the spot. With an hour of sunlight left I was able to get two Indians and a eagle button. This past Sunday I was able to return and got 5 hours in. This was one of my busiest hunts ever. The 7 Indians date 81, 82, and 83. The small token is a crossed cannon from civil war era, 61-64, I believe. The large token speaks for itself, circa 1890. Three eagle buttons and an eagle medallion off of a hand saw.

IRON. I took a back pack to haul out the iron. It was a long heavy haul. The one picture was of a horse. I enjoy my iron relics! Keep Swinging!!

I see a waterfowl band, did you call it in? Nice finds.

 

[muddpuppy]

Yes, I forgot to mention that. It was from a Canadian goose tagged in 1999, Ann Arbor Michigan, to young to fly when banded. Keep Swinging!! Dig Hard or Go Home!!!

Those are the best spots in my opinion great finds, love the Indians ! Great iron, I keep all mine too

Those are some excellent finds. I've discovered that the earliest house sites in any area were not on a housesite map--and that holds true for all the land in the Old Northwest Territory as well--Indiana, Ohio, etc, all mapped out in 1 mile square grids...

Loco-Digger, no, what I took was actually a large hunting fanny pack I use when hunting Indian relics. It was loaded.
Keep Swinging.!! Dig Hard or Go Home! !
