Beautiful Old Pocket Watch. Awesome Old Glass. And Some Cool Relics

[JerV3]

What's up everyone

Not my normal silver and coin posts. Took a break here this summer with the heat and lack of rain and got into some privy digging and bottle dump digging. It basically started when me my bro and buddy were searching some long forgotten town site when my buddy noticed a hill with old glass hanging out

After hunting the foundations with minimal results we started poking in this cliff side and quickly realized a lot of the stuff was turn of the century and older.

So here and there I've been going down and digging for a few hrs. It's tough going hard work and very dangerous. It's loaded with relics but most are really toasted. It's nothing to find 20 old spoons in a few hrs

we've built a sifter and just keep digging this place out. It's heart break one after another seeing old bitters and blob tops coming out broken. But we hope some older glass is still hiding in there

i pulled out a beautiful old pocket watch. I also dug out a few privies with my son and recovered a cool old iron lock. Got a few old coins to with the detector at the site.

Im gonna keep working this site until it's time to swing the units again.

Nice finds, did same thing 2 years ago. I agree, hard to see so many heartbreakers.
Just curious jerV3, what is the long piece of glass with the blue ball on top? Found the same but broken at the 2 ends, so I have only the thickest part of it.
Take care and thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot guys

lol how could I forget the full tumble into the creek. The memories will last a life time. That's what gets me out. Not the finds the good times we have while out

The long clear rod is for a coffee filter. Not sure how it was used. The blue thing is just a glass bead next to it. It has a pat date on it also. I was able to look up the co. Had no idea it was used for coffee until I read about it

Arm hurts from tetanus
Can barley walk because of bone bruise and stitches

And a huge gash on my knee from when I tried to climb the hill

So uh yeah was it worth it to dig some old bottles. OF COURSE!!!!!
