This may take several posts to put up the pics because I am not good at resizing! This past weekend I finally got around to making contact with a reply I had to a Craigslist ad to hunt some old property....We first hit an abandoned house, where I dug a brass wedding ring, and what appears to be a brass spoon that has MED DEPT USA on the handle....any idea on age? After an hour or so there, we went to his parent's property, that had a couple of house sites at one time, and a stage coach stop somewhere close.....the first day of hunting I had found a license plate from 1934, and a couple of buttons....by the large oak in the front yard I found the old Hubley toy plane, and a '41 Merc, about 7 inches down(the soil here is like sugar sand...very easy to dig)...also found a harmonica reed, and various other items such as horse tack, a house number(which turned out to be a number off of a telegraph pole), an old condom tin lid, and then towards the end of the day, I found one of my best finds, tucked back in some pines, I dug a brass heart heel plate! The plate is in excellent condition, and now off the wish list! I hunted of course into the nite, and my last two items ended up being a couple of baggage tags...we are thinking from the stage coach stop we are trying to find, since there is no railroad anywhere near the town....The hunting would only get better the following day....
