Old House Found in Farm Woods Today!

[ModernMiner]

At lunch today, I ventured out into a new section of woods that I have never been on the farm I've been hunting. To my surprise I came across the remains of another old house I didn't know existed! You can see the foundation was on the brick pillars. It has a double fireplace (back to back). You can see the old wood and tin roof. I found one water pipe with faucet sticking about 3 feet off the ground. I found the fuse box, it was a 1 fuse box. I am not sure of the age? What is throwing me off is:
1) No old road to the house.
2) The basement (?) in the picture is concrete cinder blocks, but the brick pillars are NOT over the top of this. The two look to be separate.
Any ideas?
I think I have located two different outhouse locations also close to the house.

As far as finds, I only found the items pictured so far. Not much time to MD today.
Saw some other areas of the woods I had never been to also. I'll try to get more pictures next time out. I also ran across a 2nd tree stand out in the woods. I better get an orange vest.
No idea what the long metal piece is? It's copper and crimped the length of the piece.
Sword sheath?
The green bottle is still full of some thick clear liquid. I'm trying to figure out the name on the bottom.

Thanks for looking,
MM

i like the remains of the house and from the way it look the fireplace was built nice and strong due to it being the only thing left standing. is that one of those old glass lantern lamp bottom part. it would be funny if u walked into the woods and saw a fireplace but no remains of a house. hope u find somemore koolstuff there. (k-man)

K-man, I stumbled onto an old homesite with only the chimmeny still standing (no other remains) while walking in the woods on my father-in-law's place. Haven't had the chance to go back and MD the spot, but I plan to when the weather cools.

I think what you've found is a fairly high-tone still. Kinda like the little pig whose house was made of brick. Don't drink what's in the green bottle or--like Roger Miller--you might "run ten mile".

Serious part: It must be great fun to find a site like that 'way back in there'. I'll watch for more cool finds.

Kirk's Avatar Part: Depicts an 80's detectorist, about which one might presume: 1) drives a Trans-Am with the big Bird decal on the hood; 2) has leopard-print seat covers in it; and 3) has "BOW-CHICKA-BOW-BOW" music playing on the 8-track.

This option! hahaha

I don't know, maybe turn of the 20th century? Looks like the trees there could be 60 years or older and maybe the house was abandoned sometime in the the 30's? Just a wild guess. When did cement blocks come into existence?

I agree with Ed , you can also get a good idea about the age of a house by the type of nails used to build it .
