Short Hunt at New Site Gives Up Cool Relics and Silver!

[FoxHound0985]

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine suggested that I check out his son's place, which he told me was built in 1843. I had driven by the place numerous times, but never thought it was that old. Anyway, we went up there and got to work. His son had to leave in a half an hour, so I went over the back yard much quicker than normal. I ended up digging some pretty cool relics, though. I found a large serving spoon marked "ELGIN" on the back, a tag with "RETURN TO W. D. TAYLOR. NABB. IND.", another tag marked "OWNERS NAME AND ADDRESS INSIDE" (a burned piece of paper was inside), a pocket watch back, a tag with "16", a couple of flat buttons, a pocket knife, a 1956-D Rosie, and some other brass relics. I may be going up there again later to do a more thorough search. It seems like a really good site with a TON of ground to cover. I tried to find some info on the serving spoon, but came up empty handed. If anyone could lend some info on this one, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

HH!

Pretty neat finds for a short hunt. I'd keep pounding that spot. WTG!

I see some nice early flat buttons in the mix there Give that spot some more time and look for the deep tones that you're not sure about.. You should turn up a Large cent or two and maybe a halfdime
