The Browne School: Archeological Studies, Part I

In the early 1970's, the property owner of the Browne school, Kenneth Finnestad built a Heathkit metal detector, similar to the one shown below.   


Besides the usual nails, bolts, tin cans and the general things found while using a metal detector, several iron desk parts were found buried on the property.      The wooden desktops were either removed and used for other purposes or most likely had rotted away after burial.     

The desk parts were found near the concrete on the right side of this photo which appears to show a wagon or piece of garden equipment.
