Little Red Schoolhouse part 2 and still going..

[solaryellow]

Took a trip back to the first little red schoolhouse which I found out only dates to about 1900 for a start.

Already found a old IH penny. and some Mercs several years ago.

had to go back and check a field across the street from the school as I was told that was where the boys played ball.

Besides a fair amount of iron, I was practically digging everything, and it was worth it.
I was getting some erractic beeps but this turned out..
Pic below....

1915D wheatie, and a pin..

Not even knowing where to start with searching for what I found I looked at it and said, OH I get it,,,,,it's a pair of crossed cannons..

So a simple google search for CROSSED CANNON PIN and the very first link pops up..

1904 Officer of the Coast artillery corps pin...

This amazed me a little considering I couldn't even recognize what I found it was so caked in dirt.
A little electrolysis and some polish and it looks pretty good....

Needless to say, I covered about 5 percent of the field.
So I still have more work ahead.
Look for part 3 soon.....

Thanks.

The lighting makes the coin look cleaner.
It is still a little dark, and I only lightly polished it a little because it was so dark I couldn't even read the date.
I guess all the detail is there when using macro on a camera and hitting it with light.
But my eyes were working hard without the camera to see this detail.
