Who does not like finding nails, well me for one, but today I found nails that just made me smile. 
After a lot of research on this early 1900's property I decided to go check it out. Unfortunately it seems it is private property. Although only protected by a single cable fence and not a No Trespassing sign in sight I decided not to go in without trying to contact the owner.
However, in front of the fence I noticed a very short run of Train Tracks, only about 100 yards, leading nowhere in either direction so I decided to MD there. I could only see traces of the tracks mostly buried by dirt.
After a few minutes I noticed the area was very trashy giving up the usual nails, pull tabs and lots of trash.
Then I hit a good sized railroad spike, then a dated nail 1925 and then they just kept coming.
By the time I decided to call it quits for today, mainly due to the fact that I was frying in the 90+ degree heat, I ended up with some really cool nails, 12-1925 nails, my oldest to date, 5-large spikes, 4-small spikes, 2 weaties -1919 and 1952) a 1965 nickel and a bucket full of trash.
Can't wait to go back...
