Old Schoolhouse site gives up a few goodies

Merf · Apr 23, 2008

Greetings
The schoolhouse was torn down about 1960 but dates back to the mid 1800s.
I spent a couple afternoons there and found these.
The large token had me thinking Coppa until I looked closer.
Best luck----Merf

Great looking IH's Merf. :thumbsup:

Congrats on that super cool token too. I would have thought LC too. :'(

I can't get over the size of that field. Simply amazing. Who knows how much is hidden out there. It looks to be the size of an ocean?

Great hunt,
MM

Pretty much off the topic but, the place where I work used to sell appliances back
when I started in 1972. They had just taken in an International Harvester freezer on
trade when I started. I bought it for $20. It's still running away in my basement.
I've thought of dumping it for a new model but hate the thought of trying to move it.

Thanks MM----There are many thousands of acres of farmland in this area.
The trick is to find where the buildings were in the 1800s.

Thanks Olegoat-----I put the 3300 in storage for a loaner, It still works good but after using both types I prefer
The sound only type over the TID Type. :thumbsup:
