Great Finds! It always amazes me what can be pulled from field. I've always been shy to hunt fields just because I thought nothing could be out there. One more time it looks like I've been proven wrong!

Merf, that is my kind of post.   thumbsup


I really like some of the relics you found too--the nice CW buttons, the suspender clip with the hay bale is great, etc.



Keep at it, my friend.  November will be a prime month for digging this year.
