Hello folks!
It's been busy around here and I haven't posted my finds for the past few hunts. I got out today and found some more keepers, so I grouped them along with some of my other recent finds and shot some pics. There are several, so if you like pics, this is your kinda thread. Unfortunately, I can't ever seem to remember to bring my camera with me on the hunts, or I'd show some pics of the beautiful farm I was at today. The oaks were huge, and there was an old trading route that ran through there before this area was even settled. It was a salt route from the midwest to the coast. Tons of iron in the ground along this area. All I managed was the reign guide and the tan pocketknife and some other junk.
Then I went to a grassy area behind a doctor's office in an old part of town and found a wheat, the bread token, razor handle, gaslight valve, spoon, and other crappe'.
The silver came from two private yards...the ring, 2 rosies, and the quarter from one, and the merc from another. A pile of wheats from both yards, and the milk token from the merc yard.
The Alabama tax token (Hi Nana!!) came from a recently cleared vacant lot in town, along with a spoon. The odd buckle (any ideas on what the design represents?), ford model T hubcap, and black pocket knife came from a cleared lot in a nearby town.
The decorative ring/pull and the odd flat piece with the ball on top came from a plantation main house yard, built in 1850.
Enjoy the pics!
