Now you see it @@ Now you don't

First off, if you haven't seen my good ol' hunting partner Ridley's latest find, please take a l@@k:
http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,107695.0.html

I thought I skunked him last night, but he pulled a rabbit (or seal) out of the hat after I went home. Dirty dog!

Some of you may remember the old 100 year old house Ridley and I hunted a few weeks back (pictured). The spot had turned up numerous finds for us: silver coins, Order Of Owls 1907 pendant, WW1 collar disc, etc.
Well guess what? The old house has vanished into thin air. All that is left now is a nice flat detectable lot (see picture).
We hit it last night after the work crew had left for the day. I think they have their equipment parked on our cache?
I got there ahead of Ridley, and had a few good finds by the time he showed up. After that, he was like Speedy Gonzales trying to find some silver coins before me.
I tried to show him my finds, but I got a "we'll look at those later. Now let's hunt" reply. I was both crushed and laughing at the same time. I think he was feeling the heat of the Mighty Tesoro?

My Mighty Tesoro finds were:
*1942 Silver quarter.

*CW 3-ringer bullet (in downtown!)

*A old buckle that I think may be from the late 1800's. It is stamped "Russell Mfg. Co. - Middletown, Conn ". I googled that company name, and they produced suspenders & buckles in the late 1800's.

*A small golden SOUSA JR. HIGH pin. It has "Metal Art Co. - Roch. NY" on the back.
More writing on the front too.
Any idea on this one?

*1953D & 1951 wheats.

*Relics: Keys, old spoon, toy metal wheel, candle holder, Grimland play coin.

Thanks for looking. I got to get back over there before Ridley finds it all.

WSC,
Thanks so much for the info. We've been finding things from all over the place on this site. We're starting to wonder if this place was used as some sort of boarding house?

It's gone!?! OHHH...that's so sad. I'm with you..I thought with the new boards there, they were going to restore it.

Hate that it's gone, but I sure do like that bullet!

Congrats on a great hunt, MM! Nana
