Recently was given permission to hunt a old farm house south of town. The house is completely boarded up as it has been vandalized several times. At first I didn't think it was to old but the finds so far seem to indicate some age.
As of right now I have only hunted less then 20% of the lawn area and these are a few of the finds I've made so far. The Borg Warner Employee Tag isn't all that old as The York Division in Decatur only goes back to the early 50's. I personally worked there from 1968 till it closed in 1984. It is in pretty good condition for being 6 inch's deep, strange there was so little corrosion. The 1929 Wheat cent, the 25 cent Good for Token and 1918 dog tag is what tells me the property has some age.
Plan on doing a lot more hunting there as the weather will permit (been raining almost every day recently). Rick
