Old Beer Cellar
Nice find CreekWalker...no I've never found anything, but only once have I been back with the metal detector. It's a very long walk and i seem to get older each year...go figure! It's also very grown up and on private property but it's not posted. I need to go back one more time for a much...- offtrail

Canal Era Jug ?
I hear that, for years I've been looking for one and finely found it. A new part of the river i never hunted before...happy I made the trip. Never dug a privy but know where one is. No one was willing to help me dig, this house had hand hued logs in the basement with the bark still on the beams...- offtrail

Old Beer Cellar
Found this very interesting building one day going off trail hiking. For years after finding this place i had no idea was it was. It's made of local sandstone and has a spring running through it. It's dome shaped with dirt on top and in a hill side. The date for this Beer Cellar is 1862, Forest...- offtrail

They Call Me Offtrail
The name offtrail was giving to me because i always go off trail, that's the key to finding awesome places of interest. This trail i was hiking was an old Indian trail, nothing to do with my find just filling in the details. Anyhow as I was walking the old trail...off to one side i noticed a...- offtrail

Old Rock Quarry Find
Was out hunting with the metal detector, hunting an old local sandstone quarry. What made it interesting was someone took the left behind sandstone and made a shelter...two shelters. On this day i was just going for a walk, i never waste a good walk so i'm always looking and hunting for...- offtrail

Canal Era Jug ?
Money wise not a biggie to me, just having one of these jugs is enough for me. Like I've said before, 99% of the time all you find of these jugs is the broken tops and the bottoms all smashed up. When I first seen this jug half hidden in mud and one foot of water...i about s#!t a brick. Then I...- offtrail

Found a new site
As age goes it's all relative, a bottle form the 50s depending how old you are can or seem like ages ago. I still find it very interesting to find and learn about the different bottles even from the 30s, 40s, and 50s...nice finds & thanks for sharing.- offtrail

What is it ?
I do a lot of fishing so most of my bottle finds come from the water. Found some kind of electric box with a bracket for a telephone pole. When was the last time you seen something like this made of wood... can you say fire hazard! Anyhow it was completely under water so i'm guessing that's way...- offtrail

Canal Era Jug ?
The jug is still wet in the photo as i just found it and took a photo. Once it dried out it's dull looking with no shine at all. I did clean it up a bit looking for any kind of markings...but no luck. A small chip in the lip that has since worn smooth, other then that it seems to be in perfect...- offtrail

Canal Era Jug ?
This Jug was found not in the Ohio & Erie Canal but in a river next to the canal. Next to a lock where people worked and spent a lot of time. Been looking for one of these for a very long time. All you seem to find are tops with the finger loop and the broken bottoms. Anyhow looking for any info...- offtrail
