Dug this up in Northampton, Mass. At first, I thought it was a rubber floor mat, but closer inspection proved otherwise. It is a comic book printing plate titled, "SPEEDY RABBIT." It is a reverse image of the cover. It is roughly from 1963. I believe it is one-of-a kind,therefore maybe...

Could these be pre-1900?
All I found Today was this insulator. I found it first thing and threw it aside. But then I found nothing else all day. After hours of worrying if I'd have anything to post on the website, I went back and picked it up. Hey, what do you know? IT'S EMBOSSED!!
Anybody know how old it could...

These are pics of a surface dump in Western Mass. I heard about the dump about 4 years ago, and actually went looking for it once. But very thick briars prevented me from finding it even though I had very good directions to it. But early spring seems like the best time to get by the briars...
These are from a jobsite in florence mass. Haven't been there in a couple of months because the frost was too thick. But spring is here!!!
I left all the bottles on the left but kept the 6 bottles on the right.

Has anyone had any success downloading old maps off the internet? I know they're available in libraries and town halls. But I haven't been able to find old maps online that show property lines and houses and maybe a privvy.......
I came across this old foundation in western Massachusetts next to a river that constantly floods. It consists of two exposed walls, each about 15' long, that form a 90 degree angle. I started digging right in the inside corner and immediately started finding pieces of red and green...
I dug up this S. M. Bixby bottle recently in Northampton, mass. I have found numerous Bixby bottles on line, but all of them are ink wells. I know the company was formed in the 1800's and sold out in 1923. So, I have a very rough idea of the age. If anybody knows anything about this bottle...
