Some earlier finds from under the dining room floor

[2moshers]

Here are a few of my earlier finds from under the dining room floor (all circa 1800s). Glass ink bottles, a china dolls head, glass bottle stoppers, 2 very small bottles, some buttons, and the oldest find to date a Staffordshire dinner plate circa early 1800s.

Very cool! Look forward to seeing what's underneath all of that stuff.

What made you decided to look under there? Is it a room or just like a crawl space?

Many of us are thinking of the same thing.

For those wondering I have known of the 'cut' trap door there since I bought the house many years ago. It is indeed a crawl space about 3 feet high under the dining room floor. For many years it was just carpeted over but when I got into metal detecting a few years back I decided to go down and take a look into the old bottle, glass, crockery, and 1800s relic dumping ground. Everything that could be burned was done so outside back in that time. The rest was just dumped or buried outside or in this case thrown under the dining room floor.

I wonder how long people did that. We live in a house that was built in the 1910's and have a lot of property that I haven't scanned yet. I have never been under the house, my hubby has but he has never metioned anything like that under there but then again we have never thought about it.
