More crawlspace finds A COUPLE NEW ONES TODAY - 8/30/2008 4:23:41 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1703 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline        I haven't got a chance to do alot of digging lately but managed to crawl under a few more houses recently.One produced a number of food,beer,and other cans.I was amazed to find some of the paper labels from the 20's-40's intact and able to be cleaned up on the food cans.I found a few nice waxsealer jars and 58's too along with a couple SS cokes.The cans were probably my favorites though,I still need to clean these up better and have another box to clean.

When I'm done posting this of course I'll be going to Ebay to see what that stuff is worth :) Amazing they were in such good shape and not crushed either. I've spent my last 2 "digs" underwater snorkling in a river down the street. My friend is pullin up some good stuff, I spend most of my time gagging on the snorkle thing, and flopping around like I'm drowning. Still can't get the hang of it. Good luck finding more cool stuff _____________________________ Bram Get busy diggin, or get busy dyin' http://www.GreatBayCatering.com (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 6

RE: More crawlspace finds - 8/31/2008 8:51:59 AM    appliedlips Posts: 1703 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline       Thanks for the comments everyone.       Doug, I see what you mean about the face.It is just an illusion in that photo,just a plain ole mountain.       Bram,I am not sure what they are worth in this condition but I like them.Some of the labels were covered in black dirt but wiped clean.There were hundreds of cans and I only picked the ones that looked good.I am heading back today to see if I missed any and to get some more scrapes on my belly and arms.      Good luck with the snorkeling,sounds like a good time.There has got to be some incredible glass in the rivers up that way. _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.

RE: More crawlspace finds - 8/31/2008 9:04:49 AM    FloridaDigger   Posts: 55 Joined: 8/21/2008 Status: offline Really cool stuff; ...the cans are really neat. You would never find cans in that condition here in Fla. The humidity/heat/salt/flooding just destroys metal quickly. I would guess the SS cokes are the most valuable, ..but who knows, a can collector might need one that you found real bad, ...but regardless great finds for under a house!

RE: More crawlspace finds A COUPLE MORE FROM TODAY - 8/31/2008 10:04:05 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1703 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline       Went back to knocking my head on ductwork again today and found a few nice things again including dozens of cans including a couple real nice ones.These were found under a different house too,I couldn't believe it.The pork and beans has the elk motif on the back and the boy fishing has sweet corn on the back.We also found a couple meds,common jars,acls,etc. but nothing real old in the way of glass.We hit one crawl that had about 40 embossed qt. milks but all but one were the same,an already super common local.I know,you want bottle pics but I am digging the cans.

I live about 1/8 of a Mile from Detroit & can literally see old abandoned house's across the street. I've always wanted to check out these old houses crawlspace's ect but a white boy in these neighborhoods snooping around not the best or safest idea but I know gotta be something good hiding out there.

RE: More crawlspace finds A COUPLE NEW ONES TODAY - 9/1/2008 9:38:16 AM    appliedlips Posts: 1703 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: offline         Leon, I was finding these in a smaller city,but one not without it's fair share of the element you refer to.Carry a heavy flashlight and a big stick and bring a friend or six Don't yell Police when coming through the door or window.On this occasion,I had permission to be under these houses and would advise you to do the same.Years ago you probably would have got away with saying you were just checking for bottles and cans if approached,but metals theft is a major problem today and a guy in a celler or crawlspace looks mighty guilty.I have been under alot of houses in big cities to the sticks and alot of them have trash under them.I try to ask about the crawl space at most of my privy digs,you'd be suprised how many people will let you look somewhere they would never go. < Message edited by appliedlips -- 9/1/2008 9:40:06 AM > _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.
