After some extensive hiking and hacking through the woods, I come across the cellar holes of the old farm house property. As I dig deeper into the thickets, I come across springs for beds and melted glass scattered across the ground, along with other metal pieces. This is where it gets good, as I continue deeper into what was underneath the house; I get a signal and then another. As I begin to dig I come across little glass bits of bottles and porcelain plates, couldn't be a trash hole without silverware and that came next and then something extremely weird....a wallet...I couldn't believe it??
I continued digging in hopes of finding more but as I dug along all i found were more glass bits :/
A break was then commenced because damn it was hot (80+ degrees in a buggy thicket)
As I continued through the bush, it became more apparent that I must be behind the farm house, scrap metal was just laying on the service and bricks lie in heaps in the ground. I kept sweeping in hopes of a good signal and bam! I bent down and started digging, the shovel hit the dirt and thud! I hit something it seemed like; as I uncovered what was lying in the ground I would've never expected this sort of thing to survive....
A Porcelain IGA sign, in fantastic condition.
This site also has an extensive trash heap behind the house with bottles and old car parts everywhere, Its insane.
A little bit of background history about the property, Acquired by the town in 1846 became a poor farm for the town and housed and fed the homeless until the 1940's. In 1960, it caught fire and burned to the ground. More pics coming tomorrow, I am dead.
