Howdy all. Have you found Jesus? I did, LOL. Went to a site from a 1875 map that I have hunted a few times, but not with my AT Pro, at lunch and picked up a few pieces. Baby Jesus was sitting on top. Hard to imagine it surviving so many years in the field. 1880 Indian head, round ball and a few other iron pieces. The iron piece pictured reads OHIO. It's awesome it broke in the right place! Keep Swinging!!

I see a little girl laying there, it looks like it was the top of something else as in #3 photo you can see where it snapped off. Cool find though surviving the fields.
 

pepperj, thanks. I think it was a cradle and the rockers are what is missing. I thought it might be part of a nativity scene. But we may never know. Keep Swinging!!

Great relic but not Baby Jesus in a manger or "feed box". Appears to be a little girl in a decorated crib from a Victorian doll house set. Congrats on a fun hunt. Sub 8-)

6lb 7oz baby Jesus!! LOL Sub, I stand corrected. I guess Jesus would not be in a crib. Thanks. Keep Swinging! !
 

"I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party." -Sorry I couldn't resist lol (talladega nights)
 

That is great! Amazing that survived so long. Great finds! HH
