Hit a muddy half froze plowed field today!.........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

Found an old house location on my 1873 map. No house anymore, just dirt, well mud! Nothing too exciting but had fun for just over one hour. I found 4 ends of spoons or forks? All were silver plated.

I thought of Steve when I found the match to one of the small ones! kinda neat! What are the odds?

Here is a lantern top and a neat ornate corner piece probably from a trunk or something?

Here is why and how the Iron Brigade got started! Some of these are over 10" long! real tire poppers! the farmers love when they know you are taking these out of the field!

Nices finds Mike. Things like that is what gets my blood pumping. And now I know what the Iron Brigate stands for.
