Beautiful sunny and 70s here in Michigan, couldn't wait to get out to a new permission and it didn't disappoint. Couple of silver coins, Clark & Coombes silver vintage ring, couple of IHPs (97, 88), suspender clip patent date of 1874, old 'OK' service tag, nice flat button, 4 wheats. Found a 5-coin spill, 2 IHPs and 3 early wheats in one hole. Owner kept a vintage cast iron rocking horse toy. Enjoy.

Nice digs my friend nice digs. It's fun to get into a new spot. You're on to something good, is it a big yard or lot?

Mark in Michigan
Hey Mark, Researched the area (1856 map), its the old town near my house. The permission was a 1910 farm home on the south outskirts of the old town, suspect a much older home was right next door, but long gone as found old square nails and the flat button. Owner's family moved in in the 50s, gave me a tip of a old clothesline, that's where I found the ring, (got to check those old lines ☺️). Gonna continue to knock about in that area some more. The town dried up around the turn of the century, not much there now but good stories I gathered from local historical society residents.
