Researched a Red dot, LC & Sterling

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

I was working with MetalHeadz on a couple of spots to hit in the old park woods. I came across my first red square on the old county map.

Every other dot has been yellow designating the home and white with “x” showing the barns. Louis said he thought red meant brick home vs wooden home. So I did a bit more research and found a pic showing the ruins in 1985 of the 1824 farm home, definitely brick. They must of had some money.

Unfortunately the ruins must have attracted to many liability issues and the homesite was filled and flattened, but I found one small section that was productive. (Imagine what’s buried down deep...)
First good signal.

Took a while with the Andres Pencils, but came out ok for an 1835 Matron Head.


Old domed flatbutton with no backmark.

Mystery piece of heavy gold plating.

Old toy fire truck, Slik-Toys. I think this is from the 1950’s, it is aluminum and was super deep mixed in with lots of iron.



And of course a spoon handle, but this time Sterling! My second ever.



Here is the handful, everything cleaned up well for a big Win last night.


Good luck out there!
