Old home site?

[kwelliott14]

So I found some graves in a woods. I decided to take the metal detector and look around for a homesite close by. I didn't have much time and didn't cover much ground but I found alot of nails and these. I think one goes to a lantern?? The oval one I have no clue.

Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Love the lantern parts. Cool find!

Looks promising...my guess would be to keep at it and see what else pops up...

Well done !

I went back again today. I think [emoji848] found a trash pile. Alot of glass and iron. Anybody know a date on these? I'm just curious. Thanks

 

[kwelliott14]

Knife?

Can we have some cleaned up picks of these? Might make it easier to ID them. The glass and potter, I mean

If you can see the mold seem on the bottle it will help date it within a decade or so. Stuff kind of looks from dumps that I have dug 1885-1910, though the pottery looks like is older.

Check Find a Grave web site to see if the cemetery is listed. https://www.findagrave.com/ Might give some insight into the dates it was occupied.

All the bottles I'm finding have a seem.

But can we see it? Depending on how far up the bottle the seam go’s can help us get an age estamit. Can we also see the bottom?

Very nice ,,take your time here and I’m confident you will be successful

I'll have to take more pics tomorrow I left most at the site.

LOOKS like ur off to a go start finding some valuable goods

 

[kwelliott14]

Anyone know what this pattern is called? The seams on the bottles so far go up to almost the lip of the bottles.

I'm finding so much stuff it's kinda overwhelming. All I really want is a coin of any kind to say I found it with my metal detector. View attachment 1892156View attachment 1892157

Definitely in a good spot.
What type of metal detector do you have?
You might be able to adjust it to make your hunts less overwhelming.

I adjusted it to not ring on iron but it still does on big stuff like the saw blades and railroad spikes. I just think I'm digging in a old dump site but I know there was a house somewhere close by.

Big iron is difficult, I guess it’s just part of the fun!
