Doing better rummage sale shopping. Though yesterday I did get a couple more dollars in coins and a Chinese?? 100 something silver tone coin with some guy that looks like foomanchoo on it.

Just over 2.10 in change (spendable) 1 heavy mens chain (says 14k Italy) not sure if its legit but taking in to have looked at.....(hope to find out later today). 2 tokens, one from Henry Ford Museum (found near Fostoria). 1 Zippo lighter (nothing special). 3 keys, 1 zipper, 1 dog license. Hoping to get back out after this rediculous heat wave. Good luck all------------

cool finds !

 

[ironmountain]

nice finds trickling in.... nice work on the hunted to death park plumb....
I was at the inlaws for the week prior to the 4th....
Noleakjohn ended up being up that way also! Was so cool to get with someone else to dig in a spot that actually has nice glass.
His cousin/her hubby/wife and cute little grand daughter and myself and my daughter all met up.
went to a spot close to their house. too many roots!!! was like a 30' steep slope to the ground and it was gently sloped to a swamp area.

decided to go to another spot where it looks like they'd burned a bunch of glass...

this place was awesome! his wife and grand daughter had the MD and found meds..
You can drive right up to the edge of it.
200yds of field and then an incline to another swampy area...
there were bottles everywhere...walking in I found a few Calumet Bottling Co busted up bottles, we found a billion moonshine/handthrown crocks that were broken... it was literally glass city...alot of it was busted up..had to work for the glass not busted..
we were literally digging under trees on the slope and pulling glass out...see a small depression, dig it up and kneel in it and end up shoulder deep under a small tree with glass in a hole under it....

John and I ended up pretty much just pigging in a dirt hill at the end...
was great fun! He also gave me a Kilmer's sample bottle...
we found an old toilet pretty much whole...

I have some pics I'll post...

after we dug and I went back to inlaws, we went home the next day and left for DC for the week...4th in DC was awesome...
wasnt as crowded as I thought it would be....our hotel was right downtown washington and it seemed more like a college campus than a big city.
get out, walk 5 blocks to the white house and go from there.... everything was free to get into and we literally walked 10-15miles per day..
haven't been out since we got home... been way too hot!
pic of the jug and a few dose bottles...one's decently old, other two early 1900's...

i grabbed a ton of stuff from the autoparts field at inlaws....
a large old steel kettle..the heavy kind with the spring looking handle... up here we use those for camp... put it full of water on the woodstove so you have hot water and it helps humidify.... a couple bent up aluminum pans... those are used up here for throwing water in the sauna (pronounced: sowna)...

some horse tackle from the farm...
parts..more parts...

ill post some more so bear with me....

sweet studebaker split windshield glass... I realized I was standing on some metal which turned out to be a hood for a Studebaker..was in great shape with the emblem etc...next to it was all of the chrome for the front and one of the corner windows......
these were propped against a tree 5' or so away...
herculite as 4-28.... dirty, but no scratches...nice little oem find..

also found a bunch of oil cans...nothing conetop or anything.... a nice log cabin tin can..the Towle's cabin shaped one with the screw down top...
