Sometimes you have to clear stuff out before finding the really good stuff.
Knowing the history of this place, there has to be some really old coins in there.

You never know, there could be an 1877 IH cent waiting for you

I found an old 1877 indian , it was in chisago city MN, we stopped at an old abandoned house and found a privy and in the side wall a penny was staring at me it was in real good shape , but i never new how rare it was and just set it in my junk at home and lost it .I have made that mistake with a Doctor gregorys scotch bitters from Minneapolis and sold it for 40 bucks , but found out way to late its worth about 1200, now I look up things, because when you are ignorant you are going to get jipt

The goodies are likely. Is any of the farm house there. I’ve been told the old timers buried there money in site on the bedroom window so they could keep an eye on it if they were laid up. Other hot spots are path to the outhouse, and shaded side of the house where they gathered in the evenings.
I remember visiting an elderly great uncle as a child growing up in Oklahoma. He had no toys but we found a bin of corn cobs and sharpened some sticks to jam them on and would fling them at each other. We ended up out in the corral where we started finding coins all over. We gathered up some, run into the house to show Uncle Jim. He ran out there kicking and swearing at the hogs for rooting up his jars of money. I think about that now and decided to check it out. Found out a relative down in Houston now owns the old place and the Indian Nations Turnpike was built over half of the property. Keep up the hunt keep in mind that something good is there and you’re going to find it.

I'd sure like to know if any of those coins are there.

Well the last time I saw Uncle Jim he had bought a new 1952 Willys Jeep Pickupand would drive from his farm near Rose Prairie and parked it in our back yard and would walk to town. He wouldn’t drive downtown in Pryor Okla. too busy for him. He was a lifelong bachelor till shortly after that and married a Cherokee Indian woman. He said he had enough then to keep them the rest of their lives and they moved into a rest home. So he must have retrieved most anyway.

I’ve found a few old horse shoes. I put them facing up on the gate posts around the property. Good luck imposed when you go thru the gate!

Maybe one of them was a post hole bank. Go back and check.

 

[Ronstar]

These would be fence-line posts that I dug and installed. Put in over 1200’ feet of line 30 yrs ago. Yup, built up my upper body muscles some as all were dug with a manual post hole digger……

I've dug 1000's of overhead power line pole holes over 9' deep.
Average 45-65' pole holes are roughly 6' deep.
What an Awesome exercise !!
I had a nice spoon and spade digging set
Apparently the kids broke the 14' handles.
Now that I'm retired and with shrinking muscles.
I think I'm gonna replace the handles and do a couple holes each week for upper body intense exercise. I need to set up some rope pull and overhead pulling exercises. Like raising a 13' highline arm to top of a 65' pole. LoL
Hard to replicate in the gym. I've tried.
Yeah. Line work was great exercise. Miss it.
