Looks like a Great area.
Just keep an eye out for the ghost. I hear they dont like ya diging.
 

I'm sure glad you included a link to your '06 thread. I'd venture a guess that reading Thoreau in your school days made an impression on you, because you're living that dream.

My Dad and his brothers and sister went to school in a sleigh in winter, northern lower Michigan. It had a canvas cover and some provision for heating.

I envy the heck out of you. My local ghost town (Kensington, MI, it's on the ghosttowns website) is almost all covered by a golf course and the freeway. I'm researching for any remaining parts that are relatively undisturbed.

Way to go!
 

Nice finds Gypsy, too bad there were no coins in that purse. Anything in that small can looking container? The sleigh is very cool, now you need an ATV to pull it, a horse would be too much of a pain in the a$$, LOL. HH, Mike
 

Neat finds Gypsy! Are you going back?
 

The Queen strikes again! Cool pics Gypsy, looks like you and the girls did quite a bit of digging. Not much in the way of coins?

I believe that sleigh would come home with me, too. I have no idea where I'd put it..... but it'd have to come home anyways..... LOL!
 

Looks like you found some really cool stuff. All that hard work paid off. I liked the pictures and the sleigh.
 

I like that rouge compact. I'm sure if there were coins around you would have found them.

Cool digs and I admire your determination!


Congrats on an excellent hunt!

And ain't it hot! :P
I got up this morning and went to the local park. Lasted bout an hour. :-X

Great relics, Gypsy! LOVE the marble! ;D Always love to see the site pics too! :)

Congrats!!! Nana :) :)
 

Cool find's Gypsy....Hope you did a "re-sweep" of the purse dig's.HH!!
 

Cool finds Gypsy,keep going theres more. ;D HB
 

Now that looks like a fun day of relic hunting. Nice finds.
HH, Mike in NJ
 

Girl, that is what it's all about. The history you dug..............That lantern cover made me drool, it would go perfect with my stove door :D. I hope to do as well Sat. Coins those are a bonus ;). No horse shoe :'(? ;)
