New farm (first mapped 1828), 20'x20' done, 20 more acres to go haha
Just started a new farmstead today. I was only there for an hour and never left about a 20x20 space, hit after hit(VIRGIN GROUND!) no complaints, just nothing outstanding....YET!! I still have a long way to go. These finds were directly next to the main house. there is still a gentleman's quarters, barn, carriage house, underground ice house, and 2 slave houses on the property. With that said I swear the entire hour I was there I felt like every time i knelt down to dig there were people standing over me watching. I must have looked over my shoulder 1000 times. really creepy feeling. I guess it doesn't help I was on the property alone and close to dusk. Anyway most of what was dug was brass, lots of rings (not jewelry), guessing horse tack, broken plow point, shot gun heads, a cool little iron wheel, loads of wheaties within a foot of each other all from 1910-1920, must have fallen out of a pocket all at once maybe. There is one neat drawer pull, looks strikingly similar to Pennsylvania Chippendales 1770-80 drawer pulls. 4 extra pictures of some things I'm curious about. The first is the a circular brass object. it looks fairly ornate with the gripping and very small pot marks on the rim. Nice patina, just wondering if anybody has any ideas. Second is a some kind of cast metal broken in two, with fine detail. Together it looks like a bed frame from a toy maybe
I have a feeling this place is gonna keep me busy for awhile, I've been contemplating between an xterra 505 or an AT Pro from my current ace 250 so this might make me finally pull the trigger!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!!!!!
The drawer pull
Any ideas?
And last but not least
