Well call it Black Friday, Good Friday, Friday the 13th, TGIF or just FRIDAY, Friday or any day is a GOOD day 4 DIGGIN. Here in Canada for the 1st time retailers copied our good neighbors south of the 49th and put on some super Black Friday sales. I said ' forget that' , I am not going shopping, I am going scouting for bottles. I got permission from a long time buddy of mine to scout his ancestors property, they settled there circa 1870. ( that is old for this area. ) ...Anyways, it is a 2 hour drive from here, I could not get anyone to go so I went solo. It is off the beaten path but not to far from civilization. I was at this site about 25 years ago fishing for trout but could not remember anything about the area. By buddy drew me a map. Good thing, I would never have found it. I found 4 dumps, all from the 1940's and up...I usually don't dig them but you never know what u will find. I did find some amethyst stuff and there is much evidence that the place is old..unfortunately I didn't find the oldest dump but there is soooo much else there to explore. I will go back with a partner and do more looking. Here are a few pics that I took...
The house is not livable..lol..
I found the well, looks like it was once enclosed and someone put a mattress over it..it is DEEP
Found a 4 point deer horn..I love deer meat but I am not a hunter..It is deer hunting season here now so I did have my deer hunter orange apparel on!!
The area around the house was surrounded by that curse-it Japanese Knot Weed, it resembles bamboo but it is hard to navigate thru.
I found the wire fence line, a spruce tree grew right thru it...
The 1st dump I found, all stuff from the 1950ies and up..I decided to scratch around, all cans and stupid useless bottles appearing but then this !! Well I better post it before I am timed out...
