Not sure where this topic belongs so I post it here. The artifacts were sparse and the few I found tended to be kinda' wonky. I logged 58 rocks ranging from brokes to flake scrapers and some points. Here is a sample.
Nothing great but the Woodland triangles are the first I have found intact. The plow is not nice to those wafer thin points. I had better luck stumbling on metal objects in my wanderings.
The leprechauns put a sterling silver spoon in my path one day and an 1899 quarter on a slope the very next outing.
Later in the season they gave up a silver brush handle. Brass buttons were to be found including some from military and old railroad uniforms. Research on some of these items led me to discover the many miles of narrow gauge track that ran through these parts, the mass transit before buses. My dad use to speak of the Dayton tractor cars and I lucked into one of their tokens this year.
Old glass bottles are another weakness of mine. I won't post them all but here are a few.
I have been finding broken cobalt inks for some time and finally pulled an intact one from the mud. The Souder's Extract started out as a home business in the basement of a West Dayton home. None of this stuff has much monetary value but they are the springboard for my research into local history. I'm still trying to figure out how a brass key tag from Youngstown got all the way across Ohio.
Thanks for looking, fldwlkr
