Got out twice for about a hour and a half total, dug this horse shoe, 1893 indian, sterling cufflink ( might be plated i see no marks and didnt sound like silver) , this sterling silver piece i believe is a letter opener scabbard? ( still has iron inside) This coke bottle at 8 inches I think prob the 70’s cool part is it was still sealed with some soda left in the bottom, this copper wedding band, a new york worlds fair commemorative spoon 1939. Ive included a picture of the mansion 1880’s and a view down the hill. when i move closer to mansion I will include a picture of the old 1600’s chimney and foundation that still stands behind the current structure.

Those are some cool finds. A modern bottle at 8 inches indicates the area probably has a lot of fill dirt, so the older stuff either was dug out or is well under that.
