3 MORE For The Bone-Yard

Went door knocking at an 1880s house and got the go ahead to dig. Had CTX and Impact with me. Yard was approx. 2 acres with another 3 of field/woods but I stayed in the yard as the field was overgrown and woods full of bugs

Didn't find much but had fun for the few hrs I was there. No coins except some clad.

Found a training shoe for a horse. 3 toy cars, some iron buckles and a strange bird figure/what'sit

An assortment---tells something of the history.

There is always a spot in the yard that is a fav for the young boys to play with their toys......One wonders what the future of the lad was/is.

I think the bird is a sewing bird. Cool.find.

Thanks Crosby

Never knew these sewing bird things are what they are --- I've found a couple over the yrs but never as intact as this one and always wondered what they were used for!

Nice Wayne. CROSBY!!!! Thank you for posting that info. I now know what I have. I found a swallow at a camp...no stand part...always thought it was some weird Mexican broach thing. Thanks bro!!!

Nice finds. The sewing bird is way cool.
