Wow! What a day! I spent the day raiding 2 bottle dumps that I discovered and came home to a main sidewalk ripped out. I was tired but had to swing a little.

I was walking along the side of the Huron River and seen a bottle lodged in the side of the bank. I noticed it was between 2 small pieces of wood. My wife started feeling what the obstacle was and raised a wooden wagon wheel! :o A whole wheel!

Skipping ahead to the missing side walk....... The ACE 250 is not handling this spot very well. It is going off non stop. I am switching to the small head tomorrow and see if that helps. I pulled this little buckle right away. I was hoping for some markings but, it seems as if it may be gone. I am trying to sort out all my signals when I lock down a penny signal. Out pops this rough 1884 Indian Head Penny. :headbang: Right next to it was a 1881 IH Penny. I also found a bus, horse shoe, a decorative item, an old head lamp, Iron, fork, and a few other items. Will have to post the remaining pics later. Thanks for looking!
