Slim pickings

[spittfire]

Went out today, the wind was blowing up something fierce but not a bad day weatherwise. The take however was pitiful I really expected some decent finds from this farmhouse but so far all I am pulling in is junk of one sort or another. I am finding pieces of siding everywhere, large pieces of iron that ring up as coins and I leave there really disheartened. All I found today was a 68 penny, a buckle, an old bottle and a "handle" of some sort. I did drive out to the beach but it is really remote out in this area and by myself, just didn't seem like a wise move so I came home. Hope you all did better than I did. HH

I like the buckle. There should be stuff there, just get rid of the junk. I know, easier said than done.

Off to a good start finding things at the site

Sometimes a house had few people to lose things. One time we found almost nothing at an old house and a neighbor finally came over and said the 2 people who lived there had no kids and were there forever.
Sometimes things just are not there. Good choice not to stay at the beach, Steve in so az

Spittfire, I've hunted several old houses and farm sites where I couldn't even turn up a '68 penny. I just move on to the next one and find something better there
