My First Cache! What a doosie! ** PIC UPDATE 4/1 **

[DiggerBug]

Nana and I went to the old coal mining town today. We started at the old ballpark and the first thing Nana digs is a silver rosie! Got us pumped up but after about an hour of nothing but fence pieces I say...let's go into town. So we head to an empty lot between two houses in town.





We headed to the back side of the lot and after just a few minutes I see these dolls under an old tree. I climb under the privets and started pulling out dolls, a toy trolley then see this bowl of marbles. I holler for Donna to come over and about that time I pulled out a tin...the lid came off and more marbles! All of this stuff was sitting on top of the ground or just barely covered in dirt.
There were toy tanks, cars, jewelry, flatware, marbles, play money, compacts.....





I haven't had time to clean it all up but here it is....
















We had a great day! Thanks for looking!

i just noticed the baby doll pics ~ last one.
i have done lots of paranormal research and i can tell you
from dealing with people in the genre' that those old baby dolls
would freak lots of those people out !

pretty cool.........

* let me know if any of them do any moving on their own *
lol ~ i would like to post a story about it if they do..............

think you hit the jackpot. great finds

 

[Daddio53]

I really envy you. What an awesome find, especially all at one time! I wonder if anyone will find all of the stuff I left in the crawlspace at my childhood home in the 50's and 60's? Of course most of it was either blown up with firecrackers or shot with a BB gun. >

Nice little cache lost in time. My guess is that there was a house there at one time and it is now gone. Some kids lost all of there toys. That's amazing how that was overlooked for so long.

I'm baaaaack! I just can't stay away from this thread. I love, love it , love it! Those marbles are really something to see and enjoy. I found a purple clay marble over the weekend and it just disintegrated in my hand when I dug it up! I'll be back! M nty
