Some farm finds from last week

[Silverhawk]

Hit the old farm, not too far from work. It has some history. My friends have been pulling out Reales and coins from 1700s and 1800s, as well as colonial buttons. Went there last week for the first time and I found a bunch of buttons and an old toy cannon. I'll be back there on Wednesday after work for a few hours. I'll post more stuff once I pull it out of the ground.

The coins are just clad I found at a park earlier in the week. It was just in my pouch when I took the picture.

Going to my buddy's house this weekend and I will bring the cannon. I will post more pics this weekend.

I will definitely post updated pics of the cannon...once I find my camera charger. I have been unable to find it, since my recent move. That mediocre pic was taken from a camera phone. I'll be over my buddy's house this weekend and take pics with his camera if I don't find my charger by then.

The cannon is about 3 inches long, still intact. Has two little pieces sticking out. I guess it would be to pivot. Cleaned out the dirt inside the barrel. Looks great! I'm much happier with the cannon than with finding an old coin.

I guess you know they were somewhat of a Gentlemen's table piece & would be filled with real black powder & fired.

There must have been a stand of some sort for these canons Cru, are they ever found.....or were they made of wood
