Well, Saturday myself, Mastereagle22 and camb1 all got together and went to check out a slave house (still standing) that is on some private property ME22's relatives own.

Here is a picture of the house:

Looks Good Eh? There were lots of vines and limbs which made it hard to detect, but we did manage to find a couple things. I myself found a few modern bullets, lots of shell casings and a very crude button. I also found a What's It kind of tag that would have been attached to something. (I have this posted on the Whatz-It forum.) Here is a picture of the button I found fairly close to the old slave house:

Here is the thing I have posted on the Whatz-It forum. If you know...shout out to me.

In closing I would like to touch on a DANGER that some of you might encounter while hunting locations like this near a road. If you see this, Stay Clear!. These things run wild and if you let your attention waver...you could be putting yourself in peril. Luckily, this one was wrapped in red....so I saw it coming.

I think that DANGER thing in the red car showed up because he thought that whatzit was some kind of rare zipper pull. Great looking place, there has to be some good stuff there.
 
I didnt read your post in the Whatsit forum so maybe this has been touched on.The insignia looks to me like the embossed masons emblem on mid 1800s canning jars.
Just a stab.....Joe
 
either way that whatzit is neat looking. its a shame to tear down that house...isnt some historical society or something intreasted in preserving it.... does it have a basement, if so dirt floor.... I think its so cool looking
