Very short hunt today... absolutely sweltering with the humidity and the kiddo didn't last very long. Was hard to walk away from a yard so unfinished but I'll be back :yes:

I really like the little lead sheep; only the second lead toy I've ever found. Thought that I had a musket ball but it didn't clean up white or gray like others I've found, so I'm guessing ball bearing. Too bad all those bell pieces weren't still together! And I got over a few mid-century silver coins (first signal in the yard was the quarter- no chance to take a photo of it in the dirt when my assistant pinpointer grabs it yelling "Quarter!!"). Kid found a vintage whiskey bottle up by the porch, which the land owner said she could have.... I like the bottle, but had to trade her the 1935 mercury for it. :no:

Nice finds! Great to see your smiling daughter holding that coin, and checking out the dairy cows.

Just a bit of info... that whiskey flask dates generally from Post Prohibition 1934 to 1968, due to the "Federal Law Prohibits... etc" shoulder embossing on the bottle. It is machine made, cork top. The date code on the bottom of the bottle indicates it was most likely manufactured in 1946, and it has the "Owens-Illinois" glass company monogram, as maker of the bottle.
 
fair trade

looks like a great area both to hunt and live. Thanks for taking the time to post those most enjoyable photos....silver adds to it to!
