Nostalgic cellar hole

[RelicMedic]

A friend of mine invited me to hunt a cellar hole that once belonged to his ancestors. It's well off the beaten path in the middle of the woods. Right off the hop, the first keeper was a nice old ring with a cut glass stone. We were digging rifle casings every few feet, but managed to find a penny signal amongst them. 1905 Indian. Next was a terrible but repeatable signal. Down deep was an 1859 Vicky LC. Back over beside where I got the Indian, I pulled another one. 1864 regular Indian. Last keeper from the hole was the suspender buckle with a patent date of 1872. I gave all of my finds to him and decided to walk out to the creek and take a break. Eyeballs a beautiful blob top bottle! Walked a bit down stream and eyeballed a nice little ink bottle with the stopper inside. Both bottles are a little crude, not quite symmetrical . They have a special place in the display since they are my firsts. Looking forward to detecting that creek!! Thanks for looking and HH

That creek sounds very interesting...I've seen an ink bottle found, but never got one myself.

Good luck out there.

Besides you won't miss one 1859 can LC. The Indians maybe ?

I've got a couple 1859 LC'S and a couple 1905 Indians, but that was my first 1864 Indian. I'll miss that one a bit. Lol

very cool that you made those finds on your friends ancestors cellar hole, gives them more meaning!, great hunt!

 

[Old Dude]

I believe the ink bottle would top a dozen Indians. Good call giving the finds back. They meant much more to him than you, I am sure.

Exactly OD. He sent the link to the video to his family. A family member pulled it up on their computer so their mother could watch it. I think it really hit home with her. That's a great feeling and what this hobby is really about for me. It's a hunt I won't forget, that's for sure. They weren't banner finds by any means, but I'm just as happy as if they were
