I got permissioned to check the yard of a burnt down turn of the century house. I only keep what I find interesting and the huge John Deere ''coin'' was interesting. It was knurled around the outer edge exactly like a coin. Boy the strange things you can find out there. The hatchet, I am told, is designed with the bend in it because it was used for shaping hewed logs.
The hill picture shows the beginnings of an old wagon trail that got a lot of use. I found the super munched 1911 large cent on it, in the gravely soil. After that I met crop fields. I will check out ''Beer bottle hill'' after the leaves drop, or in the spring. That may be a promising spot as travellers may have flung their bottles down the bank also, back in the day. Sometimes I find old bottles etc. because I am willing to crawl into places others would not touch. I also stumbled across some kids private bird shooting den. It gave me the creeps on several levels. Why would he\she keep their rotting birds in a pail ?

Loving that Deere "coin" to. As for the bird den, I hope whomever grows out of that phase, and doesn't "waste" anymore. Did they even try to cook 'em??
