OLD BARNS - 6/6/2003 2:23:08 PM    Guest I am just wondering if old barns are a good place to look. In the general disscusion forum i posted an old Moxie bottle i found under one. I have 2 on my property 1 is there the other is just a foundation. I was wondering if these were good places to look?   Post #: 1

RE: OLD BARNS - 6/9/2003 6:16:49 PM    Guest OLD BARNS CAN BE A GOOD PLACE TO LOOK FOR TREASURES. I HAVE FOUND A FEW BOTTLES STASHED IN BARNS. MOSTLY RELATING TO VETERINARY. I GUESS ON OCCASION YOU COULD FIND A STASHED BEER OR WHISKEY. I HAVE FOUND OUTHOUSE PITS IN BARNS ALSO. SOMETIMES THE HIRED HAND MIGHT LIVE OUT THERE AND HAD A TOILET .THESE WOULD BE HARD TO FIND UNLESS YOU HAVE A TILE PROBE AND POKE AROUND A BIT. IM NOT SURE WERE YOU ARE LOCATED BUT HERE IN THE MIDWEST PEOPLE HAD A HABIT OF THROWING BOTTLES UNDER THE PORCHES.TRY LOOKING THERE. YOUR BEST BET WOULD BE THE OUTHOUSES OR ALONG A REVINE BY THE CREEK. OLD CISTERNS THAT COLLECTED RAIN WATER ARE ALSO GOOD PLACES TO LOOK FOR BOTTLES.PEOPLE BURRIED JUNK, YOU WILL NEED TO DIG FOR IT. GOOD LUCK. I THINK YOUR MOXIE BOTTLE IS FROM 1890' S. IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON BOTTLE TO FIND AND NOT WORTH MUCH TO A COLLECTOR. A NICE PIECE TO START A BOTTLE COLLECTION WITH ,OR JUST TO DISPLAY AS HISTORY OF YOUR PROPERTY. GET A TILE PROBE AND POKE AROUND WERE YOU THINK THERE MIGHT BE A DUMP. THINGS CAN GET BURRIED A FEW FEET DEEP WITH TIME. LET US KNOW IF YOU FIND ANYTHING ELSE! AGAIN GOOD LUCK. DIGGERJEFF (in reply to Guest)   Post #: 3
