old homesite

[carpetbagger]

Hey everyone, have not been able to post in a while, or get out much but I've managed to stumble across an old homesight in the woods, HUGE fireplace by the look of the distance and amount of rocks when it fell. Here are some pics, any id on the first piece would be helpful It seems to be made out of brass

found very close by, seems to be chewed lead

took about 35 min to get all of these thought I could have found a pocket watch fob but no luck

this was also close by, Its a Bayer aspirin tin and when you shake it you can hear what sounds like one tablet left

Interesting.
I hope you keep hitting that place and find more.

Did you open the tin? That may not be a tablet in there.

Looks like a place worth another hunt (or 10), congrats on the finds.

Yep. Drop an asprin in a glass of water and you'll see what we mean. It would've been long gone by now...


Soooo.....open it up and let us know what you find

After reading your replies I Immediately shot up and opend the tin, but nothing inside just the rust from the tin itself.

I did manage to get back there today and pulled some 44 wheates out of the ground and a bottle top from The American Medicinal Spirits Corporation. Pretty neat story behind it
