Got into a fire pit and had some fun digging, I didn't have my sifter so after digging a small area I decided to fill it in and come back and finish it later. I found lots of bones, nails, broken glass. A few things I found were a lead tube? I almost think it is to some kind of a stove?, I found a brass rivet, lantern parts and other stuff. I went on and surfaced hunted awhile and dug a neat lead bar, a few bullets and a large brass buckle. A old spoon, and a toe plate and on my last signal I dug a 1856 Large Cent, my first one! My good friend John dug some nice stuff, a hammered bullet and a couple pocket knives and a lantern piece. I hope everyone had a great weekend! Tim

Nice work!

The LC is great--and a BIG congratulations on your first! :thumbsup:

I think the bone-handled knife is quite a keeper as well.

Regards,

Steve I think we can find some pits at Helens, heck in a few weeks it should start cooling off alittle.
