Saturday afternoon hunt.

[DiggingFl]

Went back to the lumber camp again Saturday afternoon for a few hours. I wasn't finding to much. No coins, tokens or buttons. Plenty of the 1900 version of the pull tab. (shotgun brass) and a couple odds and ends. One looks to be whats left of some kind of steel buckle and the other a brass female threaded lid to maybe a canteen or steel jug of some kind, There's still some rust seized to it. I'm going to put in a few pics of some of the broken glass I'm finding. Maybe I can find some unbroken bottles as time goes on. Good luck everyone Thanks for looking.

Neat finds! Don't just hate it when old bottles are broken? Here's the website I use to ID shotgun brass.

Hey! This looks like some of my post!
I can totally relate to those finds! Maybe those shells can help you date the site. Hope the next trip you find those coins, buttons and tokens.

Keep huntin and good luck on your return...

Hi Nana and River Rat thanks for having a look. On this particular site I know the dates witch the lumber and turpentine mills were in operation. But your absolutely right I have used the old brass to date sites. I posted a couple Railroad buttons and a 1902 Barber dime from this same site last week. And yeah those broken bottles are heart breakers I'd love to find a whole one. Thanks again and good luck.
