[Muddy Mike]

3 locations on this 1850s farm, did the newest house location as the oldest is guarded by a nasty bull right now. Came up with oldest coin 1891 V ,16 wheats from 1909 up to 1937 a 1942 merc a couple suspender thingy's, sterling spoon. And looking for some ideas on 2 unknowns, and 2 rings. also a bottle dump in the second cellar hole filled with some early 1900s so far stuff. going to get into the privy digging thing soon as well. Can't wait to get to that first home site.

Looks like you did very well! Don't see sterling spoons often around here, I always seem to only find plated. Those suspender clips are pretty fancy too, very nice! Great score on the rings and buttons. Congrats on a great hunt! Can't wait to see what the bull is guarding. :lol: Keep us posted!

Great hunt indeed but more importantly do you have your Tom picked out yet. WD

You're definitely into an old site there! What is the date on the spoon? I can make out June 19 but I can't see the year.

:congrats:

Thanks guys, Tony I think the spoon date is 1912. WD yes on the Tom:thumbsup01:, early February looking for deer sheds had a couple gobbling to my calls. going to combine Turkey,metal detc. and bottle dump digging. Not enough time even though I'm retired

A nice array of relics and coins Mike , I like the old dog tag :smitten:

Hello from the far NW part of Wisconsin! I have a hat like yours (trapped it myself) and love old dog tags from this area. That Racine is a sweet find. You had a great hunt, you have some skills. My oldest dog tag is 1925 from Polk County. The area was so rural it was a wonder anyone bothered with the tags, rick of getting caught
without was almost nil!

 

[Muddy Mike]

I love the tag as well. Had a 1925 Racine dog tag I gave to the grand daughter of her grand mothers dog, she had a picture of her and her dog as a young girl on the stoop 5 ft. from where I found the tag, then found a ring the same size as her grand mothers rings she inherited. She was freaking out. That's why I love this hobby. Ducktrapper, the hats supper warm and I got him with my muzzeloader and is nice out icefishing.

Found out the one on the right is a French coat of arms french republic button, Cool the left one is a Falcon huntress with a hawk on her arm with a dog by the horse but no time frame when they were made on the web. :bummer:
