Got out for quite a bit this weekend... quite obvi if I am posting about finds. Lol. Saturday got out with Mike and Kev. First was an old camp. I believe the only coin to come up was a memorial for a camp that existed back to early 1900s. I got a bunch of those ceramic insulators for inside. The bare wires were still attached. Shows the age of the place when wires were being run as single conductor bare wires. I also pulled up this Weird glass piece. It had a spring around the base but it was rather deteriorated, but the base is brass. We then hit two cellar holes that were pounded. First one there are dimes being pulled... clad dimes. I got a sabot. The second hole was picked clean too. It was an old place with a central chimney. Twice I stumbled upon snakes. The black racer was calm and just sunbathing. The garter was just scared. The last target I got was near to the truck, by the wall of the edge of what I presume driveway. The last find was a Hubley cap gun which is really ornate. Made sometime between 1920 and 1965.
Sunday was a lazy morning. I was aware I wouldn't get out until noon. As I was on my way I saw the occupants outside so I pulled over and obtained a permission. I was eyeing a near by place. The assessor has it at 1920, but there is a well outside and the guy told me 1820. There was a harness shop there so I am hoping to pull some nice stuff from there in the coming weeks. I am wondering now if the guy was thinking "who is this fool pulling up like this?" Lol. The spot I wanted to check had a lot of cellar holes. I was there before but the last time it was still too much snow and the ground was way to wet. Where the old road forks there was a small area. Either a small pen or a lawn. I pulled up some sort of brass pin with copper-like and sapphire-like colors. I have no idea about it tho. The houses were gone sometime around the depression era but it is hiked often. I also managed a D buckle. Both were "lower" tones so either people passed over them or had them discriminated out. Hoping this tid-bit doesn't make it far otherwise I won't even find the scraps at these sites.
