Farmhouse Hunting

teotwawki12 · Aug 2, 2018

Spent the day with a co-worker (my boss, really) digging at a couple old farmhouses. Got an Indianhead at each one; funny how the color varies from place to place/soil to soil. On my last hole, when he said he had to leave, I ran into a "spill" of 14 wheat pennies (all 1910-1929), a buffalo nickel which appears to be first year (1913) and a 1909 barber dime.... gotta wonder how these all made it into that spot back in the 20's....

Pretty snazzy bridle rosette; cleaned up in some lemon juice for about 10 minutes.

….and a jar which I don't understand.

Oh yeah.....he got a silver Washington and an 1865 2-cent piece...… (lucky *****rd!!)

Nice finds and the Buf nickel doesn't have that red coloring.

The jar seems familiar but I need to think on it. Maybe it'll come to me.

The buffalo was sandwiched between wheat pennies....even had a little bit of the nickel shine to it on the face. ID'ed the jar on the bottle page as an inkwell.....

Nice! I miss having spots like those to hunt on a regular basis.

Your "spill" was likely a kids "cache".

Very nice day of hunting. That may have been someone's life savings and didn't trust the bank, never know but sure makes you wonder.

Your other post, in bottles, kicked my memory.
It's an ink well. Know I've seen this before.
