Old Cabin finds

[suwannee pirate]

My new neighbor just took a frontendloader to a real nice old log cabin on the back of his property and pushed it into a pile.I am learning the tones in my excalibur and took it over there for a while today.There is a lot of trash from the demolished cabin mixed in with the dirt so its real good practice. I found two shotgun brass ends a brass minature light bulb a 1945-D wheat penny a 1943 nickle and a1957-1960 dime,yea thats right a 1957-1960 silver dime two headed! Whoever done it did a good job on it . I only spent about an hour there,need to go back and see what else is there .AFTER I get the straight shaft I ordered from Mark .This excalibur is really cumbersome the way its designed. Good luck Bob

Suwannee,

Interesting finds. A double headed dime? Did they have outhouses in Fl. ?
I know the elevation in most areas might make a outhouse kinda difficult.
Just curious, I lived in Naples for a few years.

Ohhh... It seems so sad to me for an old homestead to be gone forever. I have found several pieces of silver at the log house I hunted last month. I had to go back a couple of times and still may go back and look again!

Congrats on your finds and hope you find many more!

Sounds like a place with some promise. That 2-headed dime is a great find.

I hope you're going back, pirate.

Thanks, I plan on going back this weekend,its just twenty feet past my property line in the woods . the cabin was pretty old made out of 6 inch logs and later covered with asphalt type roll roofing with a later add on room. If I had known that it would be destroyed I would have had it moved to my property. What is left sure doesn't look like a log cabin. It was most likely slave or sharecropper quarters as this was a major agricultural area long ago. I haven't found the outhouse area as of yet as I haven't had the time .But I found two small pit dumps on my property next to the cabin area . I have not had the time to investigate those yet .I have a friend that likes to dig bottles and I will let him do those as he has not found any new sites for several years and those will cheer him up [been grumpy]. With some luck I may have a few more good finds there .The guy with the loader really tore the place up and I think he may of even buried some of the place.There are old sink holes on most of the old farms around here that are a cornucopia of old discarded treasures but you have to dig down through 20 feet of modern trash to get down to the real old stuff.

Bob,

I never new there were double headed coins. I'm not a coin person and have never really been interested in coins, but I'm becoming interested as I'm finding old coins.

Thanks for the pictures.

Rare to say the least!!! If it's real then it's worth some bucks. Vern

 

[suwannee pirate]

I don't know how rare they are .I belive that it is two dimes sliced into and sodered back together ,in order to take unfair advantage of a sucker in a gambeling situation. I don't understand why the different dates ,thats a big tell . Bob

I like your coins Bob. I've been noticing a lot of very interesting relics lately from over there. Nice to find silver though. Angela
