Field Hunting

[Nancy-IL]

We did a little field hunting today and my goodness, I think we've aged since last year's field hunting. My feet are killing me. I didn't find much but I sure had a great time. I love the square nails. Haven't looked at the shotgun shell yet to see who made it. The big rusted ring was a bit too big for my finger. Hope others had a good day today. We don't have many more good days to hunt.

Looks like an interesting day. Too bad the rest of the pocket watch wasn't found.

Now that the Blackhawks and the Cubs both won tonight........., I have some time to post my finds...... Plus the large ring that Nancy found (left side) but forgot to include it in her pictures.

The only coin found today was a 1917 wheat but some nice finds were made including what I think is a matchlock gun barrel, it could be a flintlock but I will know more about it when I get a gun dealers opinion on what it is. Above the barrel is an old two piece dome button, no markings. At the ends of the barrel are two automotive items I believe, I have more research to do.....

Fun day and it looks like another nice day to go hunting again tomorrow.

I like the gun barrel. That's why field hunting of old home sites is so much fun, you never know what you might find.
