When we first moved here, we found an oxen yoke buried about two feet down by the rock wall in the back, but it was just so damaged it couldn't be repaired. Darn! It would have looked pretty cool mounted on the side of the barn!

We've found arrow heads, hand forged nails, barbed wire and horse shoes and even the

How very COOL!! Our place is old wheat growing ground, house built in 1906. We have found square headed nails and old pieces of glass, but nothing that neat.
ReplyDeleteNice find!
Bet there is lots of good stuff buried around your house like glass jars, utensils etc! I'd love to have a metal detector, too!
