My treasures found in a house built in 1896.

That would be a great place to scan with a metal detector for old coins and stuff.

That's in the works with another friend right now He's having a hard time because if trashed fill dirt that was brought in at some point. Lots of metal chunks and nails, screws, and construction debris. But we have the grid done and will be moving to a new section by the end of the week.

I have 9 wonderful dirty, messy, and frustrating weeks with that location. All toll, I have acquired a whole lot of "junk" that I'm absolutely in love with and the information and ability to place these items in homes so they continue their life as they are meant is the next leg of this journey! 7 toys, 6 milk crates, and 8 other boxes later I'm not going to get through it any time soon!

Finally found the dump, started the dig with lots of broken glass and bottles. But a few keepers here and there. It's going to take a while but I have a feeling it's going to be worth it.

I was fortunate enough to have permission to remove items from a home that burned. The original house was built in 1896, and has remained in the same family to this day. I'll be posting my finds to this thread as a way to acknowledge their life and my great pleasure in having their moments in the form of glass wear and bottles.

Nice attitude!

If you are not already a privy digger, you might want to consider locating and excavating the privy on that property before something like new construction obliterates it and contents. Built in 1896 gets the property into a decent age for blown bottles. Good luck if you do!
