Indian arrowhead. Old bottles frm 1800s. Old rusty pipe joint.
Back in NY:
I found an Indian pendant stone. My house was on a well known
portage route between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario along the Niagara
gorge.
Clay marbles, too, and a small leg from a porcelain doll.
And a complete brick pathway which ran from the house through the
backyard for 90' or so...
Here in Indiana:
Medicine bottles. Apparently a doctor had a house/office nearby and
he used what is now the horse pasture and our backyard as a dumping
ground. My draft horse generally destroys the bottles that pop up in
the pasture but not always -- sometimes I get one out intact.
Keep watch. Maybe something of great value comes up. Some old bottles
have good value.
My horse recently demolished a medicine bottle of lovely lavender
colored, clear glass. I suspect that one might have had some value.
