    Log cabin/house finds

    1830s log cabin that they built a house around. Got there too late for it was razed late winter (when I got permission). One of the oldest established properties where I live. The front yard is now buried with 2-3 feet of dirt. Sorry I haven't posted finds in a while. Been crazy with my dog passing and work. Stay safe out there everyone!

    Exempt token from WW1. Disregard the R. I didn't know what this was until I researched. Not in very good condition.

    Pin is decorative, looks newer. Mexican Silver pendant from necklace and a sterling silver man's ring. I wouldn't want to wear that if it is a ring.

    Need help on this one. This looks like old brass/copper. No tarnish at all. Geisha with Asian writing. Looks like it might have folded over. Left side is flat and likely where it broke off.

Size:  41.4 KB Relics. Found a lot more sq. nails than the one. Tons of garbage. Axe head, hammer head, iron wedge for splitting wood. Clock part on lower right? Nice patina on the pocket watch. It is a smaller one than what I normally find. Knob thing on right has an iron back with a slot for a belt or something to go through. Kind of heavy for someone to wear.

    Thanks everyone.
