I hear that one of those diggers sat on a lucky horseshoe tonight and found a whole row of four leaf clovers in the patch.

Yeah he deserves it he had a hard week buzzing around. Darlene gonna be after him now for sure
 

Yes it does look like names of towns to me. Crazy variety of finds from different periods. I wish I could find the rest of that statue. Oh well a foot is better than an inch I guess. VMIairpower and TwinPicks are hunting tonight. Wait til you see some good Coins and Buttons and a Bird broach that was found. I'm saying that is a part of a candle holder. Do you agree?
Cool Finds! I recognize some of the names on that print plate. Brandon, Brookhaven, Brooksville, Buckatunna and Byram are all towns in Mississippi.

Good eye CCdog. i went to my MS tokens book and found 4 or the 7 town names that i could read in the book.
Maybe these pics will give you an idea about a date for your print plate.
BTW nice finds TBD. That is a ton of pottery. Cant believe the Patch is still producing..
Too bad the melons arent ripe yet....

It would be somewhat faster but I burned out my side grinder Cleaning that Slave Tag a couple weeks ago.I'll still give you $18.19 for either one of those melon eaters.
Yeah, that tag is Killer!I'll think about for the small one after I see what this coin is that's in it.sounds like a dime but I can't get it out for nothing.it has a screw on the back of it but it is stripped.almost makes me want to bust it open,lol.

Wheat I would agree with you but you've not seen but part of what was found. I still have more but Todd Darin and Glenn havnt even posted ...YET
 

Great Post tylerbdad!! You sure have some cool stuff to remember the patch and some great history saved from the mixing truck. Looking forward to seeing the coins too!!

I promise I will post my finds soon, I think tonight may be the last hunt in the patch for me... Just one more go around with Darlene for old times sake. I really hope she's frisky tonight!
