    Weird Little Bottle

    Ok, my wife tonight at the grocery store has solved the mystery. It is called Kitchen Bouquet and is a thickening/browning agent. It has been around since about 1860 when it came in an aqua bottle till present day in a plastic bottle. This bottle is maybe 1960/70 era. Thanks for the help

    Question on privy digging

    I’m only a couple of hundred miles south of you so it could happen. Right now my job will limit me on available time for another 6 to 12 months so I won’t be doing much digging anytime soon. Right now I’m lucky to get 5 or 6 hours a week on this hunt. When my time frees up some I...

    Question on privy digging

    That’s not good news! lol We have walked the property and haven’t found anything on the surface to indicate a dump. Since folks have been living here for most of the time frame I hope they just buried the trash and went on about their business. That’s interesting about the privies...

    Question on privy digging

    We are currently relic hunting on a 2-acre site in east Texas that dates to about the 1850’s that had two old farmhouses on it. Eventually we should find one or more privies and some dumpsites somewhere on the property. The dumpsites won’t be a problem but none of us have ever worked a...

    What Was In It?

    Yep it’s definitely worth a second look. Only thing is that it’s not a pleasant spot to dig. If you look close, the indention about center top filled with leaves is the hole it came out of last summer. With all the under brush it gets really hot in there. But dig we will.

    What Was In It?

    Greetings, I have a McCormick tri-corner cobalt blue poison bottle embossed with the bee brand logo, McCormick, and dated 1902. My question is; does anyone know what was sold in one of these bottles during the time they were in use?
