    That's definitely a good start to 700 acres. You might have to live to Methuselah's age to complete that.... unless you get some help... hint, hint.... LOL

    So, BW, it’s me, the cat fan. I love snow and we finally got some during the night. When I looked out the window and saw it, I hollered ‘I see WHITE!!!’ My husband cracked up - said I sounded just like you!! There’s a chuckle for your day. 😹

      Now that we’ve had a chance to watch the video . . . Some different finds than usual! The ‘coffee mill parts’ were quite a puzzle until you explained at the end.
      Btw, your display case is tilted. Might be the whole building!! 😉😂😂 Happy New Year to you and your family, crew and diggin’ pals (and, of course, the cat and dog)!

    700 acres !!! Beautiful land too. WOW There is a good coin or two or three there somewhere . Maybe a rev war or war of 1812 button . With that much iron it seems it has not been dug that much. Happy New Years Walker . God bless

    happy new years walker! that big toothed gear looks like something off of my grandpas old pull harvester or manure spreader. both you hooked to you tractor (or horses) and pulled along and the wheels rotating would operate either the cutting bars or the "flinger" (dont know what the official name is) via gearing hooked to the wheel.
    definitely a lot of potential in a sight that old!

    Do you think those 700 acres were used for Civil War camps? Looking at those open fields in the distance, I could imagine several thousand tents occupying that area. Nice hunt. Aside from the flat buttons and maybe the chisel, I don't think I would have had any idea what the other items were that you found.

      So I didn't mention it, but local lore says yes. Both Continental troops and Yankees later in the war between the states. I will be combing those fields until crops go in! But absolutely ZERO CW so far . . . .

      Peter, no battle action. Local lore says camp and says it strongly. But I've been disappointed EVERY time I paid attention to that local lore. However . . . being foolishly optimistic, this could be the time that the lore is correct! I'll be trying to find any evidence of camp life as long as I can.
