New Old homestead

Crawdigger · Apr 28, 2013

Wow! What a tough hunt! I found another old homestead nearby and to better illustrate my hunt, these two pics are of what remains and it's close proximity to the highway (seen in background).
There's a whole bunch of tin scattered about, not to mention all the other metal trash. I only got to hunt it for about an hour but WILL be back!

Love the emerald-green bottle! You've found a good spot & for sure --- more interesting finds next time out! Andi

Thanks guys! I think I'll try to remove some of the debris and hopefully good finds underneath!

I'm sure there are some good finds just waiting to be discovered.

I'm liking those Coke bottles. Any chance you can show us a pic of them all cleaned up? Maybe a pic of the bottom stamps? They look nice. You should do well with some slow swinging and some patience.

I sure can! I have them soaking in a cleaning solution right now. I did do research on 1 bottle in particular and its a 1958 Wright's root-beer. I usually bring a 5 gallon bucket with me on my hunts and this trip I had to leave countless bottles behind because my bucket was over flowing! Ill post pics of all the bottles cleaned up it the next day or two.
Thanks for the interest!

Wonder what the "Heavy" went to? Just be careful lifting any of those boards, you know in Louisiana that's a good hiding place for snakes & black widows.

Absolutely River Rat! One of my main MD-ing tools is my handy machete. I figured that before I'm done I'll encounter a copperhead or two. Thanks!

Ok DMN....here's the pics of the cleaned up coke bottles. I will enter them in order of what I think is the newest to the oldest, but I'm just guessing. I tried to look up the ages but the web site I looked at referred to the slogan on the bottle to determine when it was produced. None of these have a slogan that I could find.
