My wife and I went detecting the other night at our sons new house. The house was built in the 40's but not sure what was there before. This was the first time he had been detecting so we were all excited. We started out finding some newer coins so things got really exciting when we dug up the 1881 IH. I guess it just goes to show you never know whats in the ground. The 1907 coin from france was proof positive of that. How an old french coin found its way to a little farming town in minnesota is quite remarkable. We are not sure of some of the items but they look like a part of a handcuff, a hair brush, a cuff link and some sort of round thing for wrapping thread? All in all a very fun evening!

4-h: We will be going back for sure as there is some thick brush and overgrowth around the garage that he is going to remove. Will give an update when that happens!
 
Looks like some neat stuff you found, is it possible that the handcuff thing might be a muffler hanger? also what is that thing right under the handle of the scissors? looks like maybe a medal of some kind, and other then the indian head what was the oldest coin found? nice work and HH!

Looks like a great yard for your son to start in. If the finds could talk what stories could they tell. Thats one yard I would have to go over several times. Happy hunting. :thumbsup:
