Recntly, a company in town purchased the land that 4 houses sat on. They sold the houses but the buyers had to move them off the property. All of the houses are gone now and a construction company is doing the earth work to get ready for some new construction. This earth work included hauling off 12" of the topsoil. The constriction company is owned by my father in law and he runs the black dirt through a screen to seperate the items bigger than 1" from the "good" black dirt that he re-sells. I was told that I was more than welcome to come to the lot and detect the piles, which he was nice enough to flatten into a 20' square for me.
I am not done yet but I wanna post what I have found so far. A buch of nails, a old horshoe, more broken pieces of china than I can count, several brass sleeves from shot gun shells, a matchbox car, something that I think is an old thimble, possibly a napkin ring, an old rusted out pocket knife, a pendant of some sort, and the last item I'm not sure of. Maybe part of an old broach or button, I'm not sure. It has 6 diamonds around the outside and you can see in the center where there used to be something. If anyone has any idea, let me know. Thanks for looking and as always, HH.
