    I found this today. Here is what I know about it. Pics at bottom. Halfway down a plateau is a old railbed which scaled this plateau. It was opened in 1875. On the outer side of a spot along the railbed is almost like a creek drainage tunnel opening, except it is only on the outside. Concrete...

    Free-Blown 1870 Bottle

    This is an interesting bottle. It is free blown and stands up on a bit of a slant. From what I gather it is around the 1870 but I may be wrong (take a look for yourself at the pics). It has a slight tinge of green most noticeable in the base. The base is pushed in and the inside of the base is...

    Date of this house foundation

    This foundation is not old or so I think. It's got an outerwall of cinderblocks. I assume cinderblock is a pretty modern invention? Its partially buried on the forest floor. A small creeklet has eroded through the general spot. For those of you who are reading my other post "please date...
