One room school house site at the end of a 80 acre field

[IHC656]

Studying old plat maps of my area I found a road that disappeared over 100 years ago and it had a school in the middle of it.
So I gained permission and I believe I was the first to ask. But didn’t find much.
Spoon or fork handle, musket ball, ball for inside of bell? Misc melted copper? And a odd fine threaded screw(not sure what material it is, light weight).

If you're the first, and even if you're not, there will be finds there. I've never been skunked at an old schoolhouse.

It is a hike getting there. I filled my pouch with 1970’s era beer cans or what was left of them.
This is furthest I have ever walked to a site, bringing water next time.

Even 70's era beer drinkers could have been dropping 60's-era silver coins.

Go back to the old school site, and yes, be sure to carry water with you. I almost got into trouble years ago hunting solo without any water. That was the last time I went hunting without any water. Dehydration can slip up on you really quick.

If the ball with the hole in it is lead, it could be a fishing net weight.
