Cistern - worth digging?
Been digging a farmstead in the woods...abandoned 1870's per local map records. I have dug through the roof rock layer of the collapsed cellar, fouund an 1881 local med on the rim of the cellar, lots of fragments. After picking out the limestone roof pieces from a 3x3 area, I've gone down...- pvg_320

WP Branson Coffee Extract - Green
Picked up for 2 pounds at an antique place in the UK a few years ago. Was it a deal? There is no seam to speak of, and the lip is crudely applied. Small kickup on the bottom.- pvg_320

Found on 1870's Farm
Bust of someone...found embedded in soil at the top of a collapsed cellar in the woods. This site also produced a local med on the surface, mold dated as 1881. I like how the glass was 'folded' underneath the bust. Not sure what it is, but I know that I would have rather found it...- pvg_320

Hilarious. She was shocked about an outhouse having been on her property but she came around...- pvg_320

Where do you live? And where do you dig?
Just curious where we're all from - many of you have a location filled out, but a lot do not. Kansas City area here - town of Olathe. Santa Fe trail supply stop, and one of the older towns in Kansas. Oldest houses still standing probably from late 1850's early 1860s, but the majority of...- pvg_320

In the woods today - 1870s farmstead
Went to a place in the woods today, that I had found using an 1874 map. And I rolled snake eyes. Last year I found a nice local aqua med, dated 1881, and a lot of frags, but nothing today. Went about 3' into the cistern, removing overhanging rocks, etc, uuntil water started seeping up...- pvg_320

Permission Granted! First dig
From many prospects on an 1874 map of my town, I chose a now-vacant lot that shows a residence on the old map. It's in a part of town that dates back to late 1850s, but no idea on the original date of construction (and first pit). The owner was interested and happy to let me dig whenever I...- pvg_320
