    Hey folks.. Got out for about 2 hours yesterday at the new site. I found an old Dodge Brothers hub from an early 1900's auto (thinking 1915 or so). It's in rough shape (as most finds tend to be). The dodge bro's were Henry Fords top machinists when he started to build his cars. They started to build their own cars in 1914 I believe. I also found a case from an old pocket watch (no internals), and a pocket knife that is also in very bad shape. I also found 2 wheats 1917 and 1939. I'll post a pic later this evening. Saturday I search for the old turn table and Train station that's rumored to be close by.
