We have only just begun digging our trench, and the kids are going wild after finding one man’s…well, you tell me what you think this is:
That’s a multitude of broken clam shells, iron nails (from the 1800s), old ham and chicken bones, lots of broken glass and potteryware, an old iron coat hanger, an old eye-hook door lock, miscellaneous iron whatnots, a plastic toy figure, a petrified carrottop, part of an old clothespin, and a partridge in a pear tree. Not pictured is a 15 foot long rusty old dog tether chain.
The boys did find a Mercury head dime from 1918, in relatively good condition (value: 80 cents).
