I have been trying to up load my pics for a few days. Cant seem to be able to load directly to site.I dont know if its pic size or what? I thought it would be cool to have pics right on ANTIQUEBOTTLESNET but i guess an attatchment will have to do. I spoke to the experts ( MY KIDS ) and they couldnt upload directly. so ill post an attatchment today.

i'll wait for the digging experts on the forum to give their take on your finds ,,,,BUT YOU REALLY KEPT EVERYTHING YOU DUG,,, which might sound bad but you never know what it is till you get input .

actually there is alot more but i thought this stuff was interesting.

Im not sure but i think some of the rusty metal is carriage parts. There were also several painters pots.

W E L C O M E Mike ~ wanna come over and dig in my backyard? []
Rick, Did you make that bug ? I love it. I agree it should be the mascot. I'd like more views so I could make it with my little ones. <3 it ~

Are those little metal "tags" all carriage tags, from different makers? If so, that is odd that they are all in one area, and have obviously been taken off the carriages.

when i found the gun i thought it was real. It was kind of heavey but just a toy. It says expert near the handle on both sides. oh and its missing a piece of the barrel on the other side. I was thinking the who ever lived here was a painter or did repairs on carriages. a lot of rusty metal parts and painters pot. broken window panes very thin. Ornamental house stuff.
