There was a 5 gallon bucket of assorted projectile points that he found out in the barn. That bucket got turned over and the contents scattered around the area. It was a great hunting spot. Sifting around in the dirt.
On another occasion I found the trigger mechanism to a Kentucky style single lever, double set trigger with my old metal detector. As well as two State of Illinois buttons. Clueless about where they came from. But compadres Mom (btw, the uncle was her twin brother) told us that her borther had originally found 2 rifles. One they used for a toy and it got tore up. I probably found the trigger. ( I still have it around here somewhere. I’ll try to find it and photo). And she went on to say that she thought there was an old jacket that some relative brought home that had the buttons on it. She didn’t know where it really came from. I found all this stuff like 50 years ago.
