Today was my second go-round at a one-room school house that was active from the 1870's until probably the mid 1900's. Still very dry, but there were plenty of signals to keep busy in the couple hours I had there. (Can't wait until the ground gets wet; I imagine lots more will pop...).
A couple more good coins, a 1930's play badge, 1950's play money... I've found several "toe taps" but this is the first one with a patent date on it. The pocket watch pieces were in ash (I presume an old burn pit), and it took quite a while with a brass brush to get the detail to come out. Don't think the tokens are terribly old, but the place isn't open anymore...can't find anything out about it on Google.
Forgot my phone today, so no pictures in the dirt....
