Hit a mid to late 19[SUP]th[/SUP] century house site over the weekend. I had been in there a couple times in the past, but it was always too overgrown to cover much ground. It’s a little more accessible right now. The best find is definitely the railroad baggage tag from the Atlantic & Great Western Railway. I was told this tag dates to around 1864. This railroad existed as the A&GWR from 1858 to 1880 and was once owned by General George McClellan of Civil War fame. For more on the history see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_and_Great_Western_Railroad
The oldest find is easily the “rat tail” pewter spoon bowl. Unfortunately, the only coin was a thoroughly toasted fatty IHP.
Also dug these misc small relics:
And some larger relics, most of which are destined for the scrap bucket.
