Popped some keepers from pounded site

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Hit a lost farmstead 1850-1970 in the park woods that has been pounded. No luck around the foundations and flat yard areas at all. Hit the steep slope areas down from the structures, shrub areas across the old road beds and swung some old rutted cart paths. Made for a fun day. Any ideas on the key shaped pewter thing or old whistle? Thx

Nice batch of finds. That whistle is super cool! That key thing reminds me of a gas valve key to an old wall mounted gas lamp.

Nice digs Thad. You are braver than me. I wouldn't be caught dead in the woods the way the wind was blowing today.

Great finds! The whistle reminds me of a style used by police constables. Maybe it was a premium from a radio program; no idea. Keep digging!!

Pounded or not, hard work, knowing your machine and patience will find things that the rest miss- Great finds & Continued success to you!
