There is an old dumpsite behind my church and after a big storm artifacts weather out into a creekbed that runs about 15 feet down a hill. Always meant to take a peek but was just never the right time/day/etc. to do it. Keep in mind this church is modern but built almost exactly where the confederate artillery was in the Dranesville incident of Dec 20th, 1861. Never expected to find much, boy was I wrong. Thank you for looking, happy holidays and please be kind to each other. Have fun digging! UPDATE: after further research thinking it maybe a 4 pounder hard to tell though, not super educated on CW stuff Further Update: waiting for experts opinion... may move the roundball to another forum for ID. Thanks for patience, sorry I do not know more!

Thanks for the comment about the banjo(s). I'm working on restoring/fixing one right now. It's a Kay brand; a Korean made banjo. The resonator and rim is damaged pretty badly and the 4th and 5th string tuners are also broken but has very little fret wear. I think someone used it as a club. A friend (fellow banjo picker) gave it to me. He plays a Deering. The gold one (my best one) in my avatar is a Gibson Granada Mastertone. I've owned 8 banjo's and still have 5 of them.
 

I found some pics of the light fixture. It's an antique that I restored.

I always respect musicians, my brother can coax sounds out of a saxaphone that would set angels to dance...take care and keep jammin'
 

An amazing find this location which has given so many great relics from the past.

Another good lesson about the location of such a site not in the rural area most relic hunters suspect but in a developed location. A good lesson to keep in mind while searching. The site could produce relics for a while.

Thanks for sharing.
