Was talking to some friends about digging and told them about my "spot". The next day, yesterday, I drew a circle and told them I bet I can dig here and find something. Found something within 20 minutes. Found a C C Haley pop beer 10.5" tall. I never heard of but is neat. A lot of writing and...
I have a couple bottles that i cant seem to get a price range for value. If this is the wrong place for the question i appologize. I wont sell these bottles because they were dug on my property and they are part of the "temperance hill museum". dont have pix right now and I know condition is...
Yes, the arsenal is two blocks away. There since 1813. This is the second cannon ball ive found. I was cleaning up the site a lil and found a hennesey nolan 1882 blob top. Stoked! Pix will be coming this week.
Thanks everyone. Ill bepytting some pix up soon. I cant stop digging long enough. Back to wirk tomorrow, so iwont be digging until Friday. That will give me time to post some pix. Just dont want to bore anybody with mostly turn of thecentury bottles. I gotta tell you though, this place is crazy...
Dug these with my brother Dug this afternoon. Bought a metal detector and found the grapeshot and some other goodies I'll post on the appropriate pages. Going on a dig in the Adirondack's tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll have something to post.
These are a few from a botlle dump. Not too old, but getting deeper and deeper. also found a 1750's chineese stamped coin. Not as valuable as I thought when I spotted it!
There are no markings. There is a slit in the back of the head. The button im not sure of either.It was threaded onto something. Thats quite the collection you have there. Is that all from one place?
What looks like a crack is just a drip or something. I was 4 feet down and had my hand in a foot of water rooting around when I felt the bottom. I was goin nuts before i even saw it because i have found no less than 25 broken round bottoms , all different types
I live and work two blocks from Americas oldest cannon factory. It was built in 1812 and I can only guess how the round got here. Found in in the yard years ago. The ring, clay marble,acorn (was silver plated) and little doll are some recent finds. any info on the doll?
