Glad to see you found some silver there mace.. I figured there was some lurking somewhere !
Thanks for the invite.

My maching was pretty churpy out there for some reason (power lines) possibly.
Anyhow here is what I found.

Headless horseman,1898 Indian,couple of wheats not pictured,a chucky cheese token,veterans postage tag.

I would think there is more in the fields surrounding the area. A good fall hunt in the making.

Later.

Excellent finds! If you go back, see if you can find the path that led to the outhouse. I've always
done fairly well on this path, and around the outhouse site. When the pants came down, the money
fell out!!
:wink: Slab

I went by the old house and its all in a pile, along with all the big trees and everything, i'm hoping they move some serious dirt out of the front yard and let me get the deeper stuff,lol I didnt have my camera with me, sorry

Mace, you sure found some nice stuff from that place.

Hopefully they don't scrape off too much dirt from the yard.

I've done some demo's before they got started and found what I could. After they were done, they scraped off 2" to 3" of dirt too use for fill and boy did that open the door to some nice finds.
