Since its been unseasonably warm latley, the ground is at the perfect muddy state grate for hunting. I discovered that my band teacher (close friend of the family) lives in one of the earliest houses of a local town. Constructed in 1768, large stone house with horse barn and well, sits atop a good 4 acres of virgin land. Owned by one of the generals for the Rev. War. Hes owned it for 30 years and said hes pretty sure no one has checked it yet.
I head out tomorrow at 10 for a nice day of hunting, if the weather holds
.
Ill snap some pictures with the digital camera, but Im pretty physched...
Heres some pictures of the house...the hunting was good. We only covered about 1/8 of the property. Close to the house we found alot of scraps but in the front yard we started getting some goodies.
Mostly junk but alot of local treasures that the house owner will enjoy
We found a pretty neat iron horse with a wheel. We have a really old one like it..its a shame we couldnt find the rest.
Also found two wheaties, bunch of lincolns, and dime.
And finally...the only cool find....
A pretty neat button. Looks to be a like a war button but I have no idea. Front simply has bagpipes pictured next to a pretty old bullet we found as well.

Weather, schmeather! It could be snowing anvils and cinderblocks, and I would wanna get out there!
I sure wish I could go with you... keep us posted! Sounds like it could be a dream site. You're gonna dig some rusty-crusties, probably, but there HAVE to be some sweet goodies there, too!
Appearently the house itself is pretty neat alone, so Im exicted about getting to see it.

(And hopefully pics of more than rusty crapola- maybe there are some King George coppers, large cents, and Bust or Seated lovelies in your near future!)

I love the bagpipe button! Wow!
Found one on line looks a lot like your's. Eureka I Found It.
Edited to add the link isn't any help on ID'ing it.
Ooooh... those pictures of that place make me wanna put the coil to the soil!
The iron horse is cool, too- apparently a 19th century toy, I would imagine. Prolly worth some $$$ too, if nondug. Cool relic.
