I finally got a chance to turn a business trip into a digging pleasure. While cleaning the loft in my barn last week,, I came across some interesting items. One of which was 15 cases of wine bottles for bottling home made wine. They sell for around $12 a case on line,, so I advertised them for $5 a case on the "On Line Garage Sales." I got a few bites and then one fellow who was selling a mini fridge for $40 said he was willing to give me $40, plus the fridge. I need the fridge for my pigeon loft. I told him I would deliver it if we could hunt his property. He agreed.
His house was built in 1998. It was built on property that was part of a farm since the 1800's. You just never know what you're going to find.
The day also included a park hunt and another private property. Aside from clad, I recovered a wheat penny, and an old pocket watch, but this first property produced a really cool badge.
The badge is a brass Detective Sergeant badge that was given away in a contest run by POST CEREALS, in 1932. I really like the way it cleaned up.
