Love the artifacts as much as the coins. Great finds.
 

That lock is an extremely cool find River. I had the same thought as mrtuff about the bells. Probably not the case but creepy to think about!

Thanks for the comments. I never thought when I went to this place that I would find anything. You never know until you fire up the old detector. I'm thinging of going back today for a while.
