Old homestead

[wilcam47]

So I found this old homestead out and about hunting. Its not on private property so basically abandoned. I havent really searched it much but all this metal detecting stuff got me wondering more about the old homestead. Usually hunting I dont have time to look for stuff so I just scan and go. But I noticed I couldnt find the dump site. Well this past week me and a neighbor found a dumpsite. It was about 100' from the homestead. Some old cans and an old kettle were clues to the dump location. I found the top of an old stove also. Couple old bottles that a tree had basically pushed up as it was growing. We havent dug much into it so who knows how much or if its been raided before. The one bottle we found was a Hinds honey and almond cream so I'd assume there was a woman there The bottle dates to approximately 1930 which is about the same for the cabin. I found an old shovel and burn barrel behind the cabin. Now snow is starting to pile in so prob wont be till spring thaw before I can get back out there.

so got bored and decided to hit the log house dumpsite again. Found a vicks bottle, 2 ornate cast iron legs, and this piece. What I think happened at some point the ran a skid trail through there and this is why the bottles and stove is scattered on the bank...the stove is prob 25' from where the old cans and bottles are. I did find a spring from a sleeping bed, and an old leather belt or strap from a saddle. hard to tell but Im surprised it lasted that long. This was found without a metal detector so Im curious to what that will pick up and where.
