  • Churches played a pivotal role in the expansion of the U.S.. Rural schools were often started by churches, used the same buildings as churches and were the center piece of towns and villages. Often times families would join together to create the space, hire the teacher and continue to advance the school throughout the years.

    Cool site and good job on the video. I wonder if that flattened copper thing is the cap of an old lipstick tube? I can't wait to find another Indian head penny, very rare for me. Actually, the last one was in Missouri! Keep going back out there and trying some new settings...should be interesting as you tend to grid places pretty well to see if you turn up new stuff again.

    Love the ring!!! Some churches purchased rings for the children to wear as a symbol of their purity. Like a promise ring..That’s probably what that is. 🩷🩷🩷
