Sidewalk finds 4/21/05

Well these did not turn out well close up, but the group shot might work. I tried these photos several times. In the picture is an old brass whatever, it's from ( Boyd's Battery other side has Jan. 17, 1878 IMP 1879 Loneng). Also 4 Indian Heads, lower two are 1881, upper left is 1879 in fair shape, upper right is 1872 with corrosion too bad. They ripped this section yesterday and pored it today. Talked to crew they are doing a private drive next. But I'll still go down there later, more sections are marked plus a 4 way, all the corners, Later

Hey Free,
You were probably still shaking from digging up those nice Indian Head cents.
Isn't that 1872 #2 for you now?
Looks like I have some catching up to do.
Way to go!

WTG! Those are really nice finds. You must be doing something right. Just don't expect the town to replace all those sidewalks just for you! ((LOL)) Must make you want to get up and get to work early every morning! Thanks for sharing those with us.

Hey Baddog1 good research! Interesting link! free2Dtect what interesting finds in only about 20 feet of sidewalk! Was this in front of a old storefront? Downtown? what kind of area was it? You know I'm gonna pump you for info `cause I'm jealous! HH omnicognic
