Cattle ranch or antique treasure farm????

Hi everyone, I recently married in June and moved to my husband's 100 year old family farm and ranch. It has been a non-stop adventure with the crops, farm equipment, animals and hours of my! But the most amazing thing is this family never threw anything away! From newspapers to vehicles. I have a breast pump from the late 1800s. I probably spent 24 hours + trying to Identify a Owens-Illinois bottle with a Park and Davis Co lid. And I am still not 100% certain. Anyways that's my introduction and if anyone is looking for anything, I mean anything, I probably have 1 or 12 lol.

Welcome

That's all I do through the summer, it's a little harder in the winter. Yesterday I found a few good things, I think lol. I've been digging around for 2 years now and I don't think a week is going to do you any good lol. What do you collect?

I have found beer cans and everything else lol most rusted through or full of nails etc. I am trying to figure out how to post more than a picture at a time, also not the best photographer and I have no clue what is good and what isn't. On that note

Also have Pyrex, old newspapers and magazines, farm equipment, Avon and Mary Kay, china, crystal, silverware, toys, games, glasses, etc etc etc. Not anything in perfect condition most items have been dug out of years of . Filled with mice, frogs and other dead things lol. Books were stored in flooded basement and old furniture was just thrown outside. I worked for a restoration company and have been able to save some of the items but some are just too far gone.

Paper says Idaho. That your area? I’m In Oklahoma so anything related. When did ID become a state? Hopefully there’s some cool historical stuff

Welcome to the board Katie. Pretty neat stuff...keep those pictures coming. Go into the cellars and attics...barns...barn floors. You'll need a metal detector too...you'll want to retrieve all those silver coins lost.
