Spent some time at my 1850's school permission yesterday. I've been working the iron infestation attempting to find good signals mixed in. I've had some good luck using the Deus 2 and the Tekkna program. Off the bat, 10 minutes in I hit on two lower 80's signals. Two Wheats, 1920 and I think 1932.

Next, I heard a little squeak and dug. Found an old square nail and pencil eraser top.

After an hour, I had no more hits through the iron, so I walked over the neighbors to search around his barns. Only spent an hour and half there and found mostly spent bullets and can slaw. I did find a few clad and a buckle. I think the buckle is horse tack. Just seems a bit large for a belt buckle.

Yesterday the farmer was harvesting the corn around the school. It is said that there was once a school in the corn field that burned down in the early 1800's. I spent a few hours today looking for signs of that old school location. Nadda! Found can slaw, some broken farm equipment parts, wire, and a pin. It's an interesting pin though.

What the heck is that pin doing in a Pennsylvania field?

A little digging shows: "During the First World War, women from across Newfoundland volunteered their time, energy, and expertise to help Allied forces overseas and to boost morale at home. They raised enormous sums of money; they made and shipped clothing, medical supplies and other goods to troops overseas; they visited families who had sons, brothers, fathers, or husbands on the front lines; and they volunteered in local hospitals. They were the more than 15,000 volunteers of the Women's Patriotic Association (WPA)."
