Ladies Night Out

[Gypsy Heart]

Was able to hunt a bit at the properties in an old town. Two of the homes are being torn down and the owner asked me to crawl under the house for him to see if I could find anything....LOL...I said are you nuts?...Well....after I crawled back out, after finding nothing, I helped him remove old linoleum and prompty found a gold bracelet....which he promptly claimed ...easy come easy go....but I was able to find some stuff. The original foundation for the log house was bulldozed this week and I sifted underneath of that. Can anyone tell me what the button is? It still has gold gilt on it,but cannot read anything on the back. The fat coin...someone tried to make into a buckle...has a belt loop soldered on the back /but shows the back of the coin.....batteries died so cant get a pic tonight of the back....

The ink well is only 1 1/2 inch tall and 1 inch bottom.

So many of the items I found were for ladies....which was really cool. They are taking down the two house in the next couple of weeks so will be able to get under them alot easier!

That's a sad situation. I love the history of those old log cabins. Too bad he just wanted the land for redevelopment.
My friend just came back from vacationing in Europe. He told me the Europeans said the people in the U.S are nuts because they don't believe in history. Any of you Europeans can you relate to this?

Actually,there isn't anything to save...The houses are in such bad condition and the man who purchased them has saved several homes in this small community. The homes being bulldozed now,were homes built in the 1880's,that were built on the land of the original log homes. The Owners great great grandparents were original settlers here and he is painstakingly removing original trim,hardware,windows and 8 in wide hardwood flooring to salvage for renovating other older homes. . Even tho he is in his 70's .
I am all for history and saving homes ,but rain and years of no proper roofing has destroyed the possibility of these being saved .When I was under the house,the beams and joists were just rotted and the attic is too hazardous to walk in for fear of falling through.

I would be there every waking minute!!! That bracelet is gorgeous. I'd love to see if it shines up nicely for you. If so, I'd be putting a new stone in that!

Wow..you found girly stuff. I never find girly stuff.

I only find the crappe` that the men have dropped. They couldn't keep track of their tools in the 1800's either.
