On Wednesday I detected the first site alone which originally had a log cabin on it with the old stone foundation still visible. According to the landowner, the log cabin was dismantled and moved to a nearby town to be reincarnated as the local visitor center. The biggest challenge here were the 5’ tall thistles! On this site, I found a 1936 Dog Tag, a brass hair clip and an iron padlock. The farmer said that he was thinking of cutting and baling the thistles, as this is pastureland for his cattle. If he does this, I’ll most definitely return, as there have to be some older finds hiding in the thistles here! :icon_scratch:

On Thursday, I met up with Pepperj at a site he’s only detected occasionally, but I’ve been here at least 20 times over the past 3 years. This site has a long history of habitation, I feel there were at least 4 early 1800’s homes situated here, although none remain today. I found a couple of horse buckles, an 1882 Victoria LC and a badly damaged match safe, it still has some of the engraved details on it. However, the best find of the day came at the hands of Pepperj, when he dug this beautiful early lead printing plate of a brass or iron bed. :notworthy: The plate is stamped #326 & Ideal Furniture Co.

The nicest surprise came last night when I received a text from Pepperj telling me that he was giving the plate to me! :thumbsup:
Thanks again buddy, you’re a good friend!:occasion14:

Thanks for looking,
Dave
