    A Little Bit Of Silver

    Hey Everybody. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

    Got out for a bit yesterday to a site close to home. A few years ago they demolished a house from the 1800's and it a vacant lot now. Seeing it was so cold out yesterday I decided to go later in the day when it was 26 out, Lol!

    Found this nice Kirk & Sons Food Pusher, which with Frank's help discovered was for toddlers to help move the food onto the fork or spoon rather than using a knife.

    Also found my 2nd CT State Seal Fob, 3 1944 Wheaties, and a cool Silver thingy.

    How unique are those finds! Just saw this on the banner, better late than never I guess. Hopefully we'll be digging again in a few weeks. I see you use a v3i too. That is an awesome machine.
