There used to be a couple of old homes on our land. So, the pieces I find probably belonged to my grandmother or aunts.

They owned about 10-15 acres of land, one day the elderly man asked my daughters and I to follow along with him, through a spot he called his park. As we walked and he talked he mentioned to us that on one side of his park was an old dump full of old bottles. A lot of the neighbors had already dug through and found several items. We just never found the time to treasure hunt, the elderly man passed on and his daughter ended up selling the property a few years later. I look at it this way, I may not have the bottles, however, I will always treasure their friendship.<BR/><BR/>As a child, I remember going with my mother and sometimes a family friend, to different dumps and finding treasures. I love a good treasure hunt, always wanted to treasure hunt in some of these old abandoned houses out in the boonedocks. <BR/><BR/>Love the old pieces of china, wonder what kind of medicine this bottle had years ago...<BR/><BR/>MelMelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182682229829890445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-4666854133775512532009-03-06T16:57:00.000-08:002009-03-06T16:57:00.000-08:00I love medicine bottles too, Kathleen- and the tub...I love medicine bottles too, Kathleen- and the tube of lipstick was a wonderful find!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-10333169660764694062009-03-06T12:38:00.000-08:002009-03-06T12:38:00.000-08:00I love it when you show your found treasures!

I read an article in a country magazine about making the bowl of a bird bath with a plastic form, pour in cement/water mixture, and when half-set place in your broken pieces of old dishes and/or pottery, and let cure. Seal with a food-safe waterproof sealer. The reflection of the shiny pieces through the water attracts the birds moreso than a plain bird bath.Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627362326166805915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-84010577737624505062009-03-05T20:05:00.000-08:002009-03-05T20:05:00.000-08:00Wow!

I used pieces of antique glass bottles to make my own stepping stones. I placed them on the bottom of a cut off section of a 5 gallon bucket, then put concrete on top. The next day I had a cute set of 3 matched stepping stones!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12534106679136054532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-44668000581818561252009-03-05T17:24:00.000-08:002009-03-05T17:24:00.000-08:00Kathlene, I can't tell you how excited I was as I ...Kathlene, I can't tell you how excited I was as I scrolled down on each picture.

The garden area and the shed have been full of glass, broken pottery, china, and Lots of metal objects - farming stuff - plowshares, gears, you name it! I found an old shampoo bottle from the 30's or 40's. Did some research on the internet. Every time I find a piece of something, I wonder about the history of it. The place I found the shampoo bottle may be a dumping site. It had rained and washed away the dirt from around it after hubby had cut some weeds and bushes down. I'm going to do some investigating on that!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-49385343631529814762009-03-05T11:07:00.000-08:002009-03-05T11:07:00.000-08:00Those are so neat!

I wonder if the area you find things in was an old dump site. I learned from living near Williamsburg and other historical areas that most people of yesteryear buried what they couldn't burn. Busted china and such would be buried. If you can collect enough of the same think to piece it together you might consider contacting a professional to have it restored<BR/>I am looking forward to seeing what else you find.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840399136320094652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-63891918108935714832009-03-05T10:36:00.000-08:002009-03-05T10:36:00.000-08:00You found some fun things! ~MandyYou found some fun things! ~MandyWish on a Whiskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989125030107547480noreply@blogger.com
