After all the morning activity, I flopped down on the bed and didn't get back up til 11:00 am.
It was so late I decided to hunt the old house site down the old highway. I found it where they
cleared for a sub-division.
The pile of debris under the Magnolia tree is where a house used to be.
This site has ground that ranges from so positive that the GB has to be set almost all the way
positive, to more than one revolution in the other direction. I can walk 40' and it may change
that much. I have to constantly re-set the GB while hunting.
But!!!!!!!!! My Vaquero managed to pull a 1945 wheat penny from at least 6" in the ground.
Also I found a button with an anchor on it at about 4" or 5".
Can any one ID that button?
I found these pieces. They look like brass. I don't know if the oval things have anything to do with
the round tube with a loop on it. They were found close together. There are three oval things, and
each one says " K 20 " on it and have different size holes of the same shape.
There were five of those round brass tubes, but all but one were crushed. I cleaned these with a
wire brush on a 6" grinder.
Here you can see some more stuff I cleaned up a little.
I could not find the Cadillac that fits that key.............
I think the round thing is a brass bell plated with chrome or nickle maybe,,,,
But it looks like one of those bells that used to be on old telephones.
Below the bell is part of an old toy car.
Below the toy car piece is a copper looking thing that says " Ford " on it.
Here is a look at some of the finds before I cleaned the chosen ones.
I got a few " alien rocks " and a big chain.........
Hope you enjoyed my old home site hunt.....
