My interest in old bottles is just beginning and I hope I can keep it under control [8|] It all started with My grandfathers dairy and the search for his old embossed bottles and has now grown into anything "different". A friend of mine has on his property the ruins of an old house and I knew there were some bottles around there so I went out this past weekend for a few hours to look around. The only thing left of the house are foundation pillars, the chimney, a stack of bricks and a pile of tin. There are two old cars and various scrap metal (mostly tin cans) scattered through probably 2 acres. I knew it wasn't a very old site and judging from the finds it is going to be from the late 40's to 50's I am guessing. I have a feeling that there may be some older finds but the area is so vast and littered that I don't know where to start. There is one place that I think needs to be looked into a little more. I am not certain but believe it to be a privy it is concrete and there are bricks inside that seem to be a "lining". I reached in and found a blue MOM bottle just under the surface and swung my metal detector around it and found two big hinges with the nails still in them. Has anyone seen a privy with concrete like this? I did turn up two cool finds with some toy guns (both broke) one being a Gene Autry. The upsetting find was a nice whiskey bottle that I found to be broke in half. I hope to go back soon but need to discipline myself to stay in one spot and work it well. And now for the good part.......Pictures......
