1818 house - 1st attempt - IH & CW soldier

I recently received permission to detect at an 1818 house & soybean fields. I stopped by after work today for a few hours.
I think this place has been hit before because it sat vacant for a long time and I found no silver. The wheats are 1917, 1918, and three from the 1950's. Also dug an 1800's flat button with "Plated" back mark.
I am looking forward to gridding off the soybean fields for some old coins. In the field is where I dug this 188? IH. :thumbsup:
I was happy to dig this little lead CW soldier too. ;D Nothing spectacular, but I'm sure there will be more.
Have a great weekend,
MM

Nice. Do you think the little guy was on a horse with a sword in his hand?

You really need your own comedy show MM!!! I see a model "T" tire valve cover. The long piece looks like it could have been an old thermometer. I hope the mercury didn't get on your hands!!! Hey, you can use that hose sprinker in your 3 acre garden-LOL. Nics finds Bud. That site will produce some old silver (not a horse). HH.

Looks like that spot might hold some promise. I hope you pull some good stuff out of there. I believe that soldier did have a sword. I still have mine from when I was a kid. We used to shoot them with BB guns and blow them up with firecrackers. :laughing7:

Thanks Q,
That long piece was off of an old scale. Good guess though.
You're right, I may need those hose sprinklers soon. ;D
Have a good weekend & take it easy on Dman,
Doug

VA,
Sounds like you had the same childhood. BB guns and fireworks, it doesn't get much better. ;D :thumbsup:

Love the soldier Doug!
That thing might be a hanging food scale face plate like this one I found at The Shark Pit years ago. I thought it was a thermometer at first.

Rob,
You nailed it. A scale piece it is. I could send it to you if you want so you'll have a set. ;D :wink:

You may not think they were great finds, but I would take that assortment any day of the week. I especially love that lead soldier and engine.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: 1818 house - 1st attempt - IH & CW soldier

Thanks, OD! :hello: All's good. :wink: Just been busy. It's hunting season here! ;D
 

Re: 1818 house - 1st attempt - IH & CW soldier

Great finds, Doug!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That soldier is excellent, especially with the caption!

I agree with Old Dog - that little train engine, while not real old is pretty neat!
 

Re: 1818 house - 1st attempt - IH & CW soldier

Nice finds. I have seen those soldiers before. The one you have is suppose to be riding a horse and holding a sword. Looks like that place has potential.

Re: 1818 house - 1st attempt - IH & CW soldier

Love the one legged Union soldier. So that is where that penny I shot years ago ended up. ::) Looking forward to reading your 2010 posts Doug. :thumbsup:
