Today I hit a new site in the fields along an old road that I have been working my way down. The homesites along this road are where some for the first settlement in the area occurred. Yesterday I met and got permission from the next farmer down the line. His land holds three old homesites. Today I started investigating the first. One minute in first target was a flat button. I liked this site as it seemed to hold less junk, less nails and more interesting targets. Take for the day of keepers were a bunch of flat buttons, including and 1830's NY Excelsior button, 1907 IH, 1919 Wheatie, good sized silver spoon, small spoon (aluminum? baby?), pocketknife, shot through belt buckle (gut shot, hopefully not!), shield looking thing (inside brass ring in photo, anybody got any ideas?), red dome reflector(upper right of cleaned photo. I thought it was some gaudy jewelry at first).
Fun hunt, was able to stay out for about an hour and 45 min.....Cant wait to really grid this site.
