Had the day off yesterday so decided to hit an area I've been to before. Discovered two new cellar holes, which puts the total number at this site to 8, at least that's how many I've found. Bad news is most of these have hunted pretty good before. Actually found a broken off trowel at one of the new sites. :( Hundreds of acres of though, so there's always the potential to find a few things at any time. Much of what I found was the standard fare...an ox shoe, reigns guide etc. Did find a little ornate porcelain top to some sort of container and what appears to be a fired lead bullet (see closeup). Any ideas on that one? Best find (IMO) was the radiator emblem (2nd closeup) from an old Willys-Overland touring car from the 1910s (house occupied from mid-1800s to about 1920). A bit faded but a keeper nonetheless. Final shot shows a restored vehicle with the emblem shown on the grill between the headlights. Thanks for taking a look.
