GREAT DIVING SPOT PICS - 7/20/2008 3:09:46 PM    arthur   Posts: 476 Joined: 5/15/2008 From: new river valley VA/WVA border Status: offline So far this is waht I brought back from the caboose.  Old ironing board all wood, old iron and plate, 1 old mason jar , 2 laterns and an old leather horse collar.  I have to go back and see if I can get that old wooden crate and then there is the iron stove and what ever else is in the muck and sand.

Must be my diabetic fatness,but I LOVE THE ARM CHAIR BEHIND YOUR FINDS! LOOKS 30's-40s? I used to want to live in a converted caboose and when a kid used to wave at the person riding in one.Always seemed like a great job! IT is a wonder how the collar[got one on the front porce,people offer to buy it from me] and especially the WOOD IRONING BOARD survived!  Any embossing on the JAR? WAS THIS FOUND ON A TRAIN WRECK? 1920s? < Message edited by glass man -- 7/25/2008 9:31:12 AM > _____________________________ JESUS said"COME TO THE WATER,STAND BY MY SIDE.

I would look into it.... same with the wood and metal items a museum would tell you... too nice of finds to have them start to deteriate.... (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 14
