Slowly but surely I'm gathering more and more information about the house I just purchased. I'm doing it through questioning my neighbors, going on line, and by swinging the coil. I'm documenting my finds and I'm trying to connect the finds to the previous occupants.
So far I know that the people I bought it from, were in this house for 10 years. The only thing they left behind were bottle caps and pull tabs. Lol.
The lady they bought the house from was a life long companion of the previous owners. Her name was EJ. The previous owners, Buddy H and his wife, Dorothy, were married in 1945 and purchased this house in 1946. They celebrated 50 years of marriage in 1995. Dorothy passed in 1996. Buddy H went into a nursing home in 2000 and passed away in 2004. Buddy and Dorothy had 2 children. I have recovered evidence that the children played in the backyard. Last night I recovered a small boy's "Buster Brown" ring and a girl's "Cinderella" ring. Another toy that brought back memories was a little cap loaded bomb that had fins. You would screw apart the tip, place a cap in it, and then toss it in the air.
Buddy was a golfer and on previous hunts I recovered a golf club donut and clete cleaner.
He was also considered a wealthy merchant since he was the owner of 2 local Five and Dimes.
I will probably have to go to the McKean County Historical Society for information on who the occupants were from 1900 until 1945. I have recovered musket balls and a French Napolean III, 5 centimes bronze coin, circa 1850's. Last night I recovered a 1922 McKean County, PA dog tag.
The history of this property may very well turn into an article worthy of being printed in a Treasure Magazine.
