Toilet top definitely planter You can put small potted herbs on it also. I love digging bottles and walking the creek. My kinda day! It is exciting to go to old home places and dig old fashion flowers and antique roses. What a great way to spend the day and make memories.

What a fun video! You girls have beautiful land to hunt on for treasures. I just moved to a new old home in November, and I can't wait until spring when I can go explore the woods behind my house. The place was built in 1927, and the ground slopes down into a small wooded area where people have discarded and dumped bottles and junk. My neighbor told me he'd cleaned up the area once, but I'm really hoping there are bits buried under the surface that he'd missed. I bought a used metal detector last summer, in anticipation of searching for finds.

I love metal detecting! We have a small handheld pinpointer to narrow in on the item, great for coins and small items, once the metal detector picks up the spot where it is. We will dig up a shovelful and poke it around with the pinpointer to see if it’s there or need to dig further. I love finding glass bottles, but unfortunately there’s no glass detectors! That crown bottle is an awesome find!

The square hole is that shape because on both ends they install what is called a stove bolt, and if you look up a picture of a stove bolt you will see the reason the hole is square and not round. On the bolt is what is called a square shoulder which prevents the bolt from turning, while you tighten a nut on the other end of the bolt which also allows for a beveled head on the outside where you see it after installed.

Wow! I actually recognize something. The Peg with the square box with the pin going through it is an old roller wheel that went on the corners of old wardrobes and furniture pieces. A wooden wheel was on the pin and the peg stuck up into the bottom of the piece of furniture on the corners. the wooden wheels would often break off. I hope this helps.

@@thepressleygirls whenever I see y'all use language a little different I wonder if it's an Appalachian thing. Your mama has done stuff on that. Generally people say pastime which is from the 15th century, a translation of the French of the time, _passe-temps_ meaning just something people would do to pass the time which is what y'all said, so you can see why it makes a language geek like me curious. It's truer to the original French than what most people say now. In Appalachia a lot of old ways of saying things are preserved, some things are from times before North America was settled. And y'all clog like people from around Newcastle on Tyne which is the extreme Northeast of England, but often through the centuries has been the extreme Southeast of Scotland. The ownership's gone back and forth a lot. Here's an example which even includes some Morris Dancers. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftp1hrimppjLhJc.html Another example is the singers/cloggers from next door to there, from Tyne and Wear, (the River Tyne an the River Wear run through the region) the Unthanks who have a similar clogging style to you and sing the traditional music from their area. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8eko9te2pfOpX0.html It all ties together in my brain and makes me happy:) Y'all look like you could be cousins with the Unthanks. I suspect y'all know all this already, having an interest in these things, but people that love y'all and love the old times would be happy to know all of this, I think.

To your point about the axel as a marker, it's a good idea to check deeds before doing any work around the land. I have had deeds that show borders and corners as "Pipe Set", "Boulder", "Rock", and even "Stone Pile" or "Hedge Row". People used to be much more informal about land transactions, and neighbors would gather to agree on markers because a survey was too expensive. Also, be careful about family lore, and heed any stories of GreatGreatGreatGrandparents buried yonder. A plain metal hinge may be from a simple pine coffin that has rotted away, as many early settlers wanted to stay with their land, and even "Ole Yeller" was sometimes so adored that coffins would be made for pets (our Pet Cemetery is defined by pine tree corners). Thanks for a great video!

What an interesting video! Love the old perfume bottle. Years ago a drive-in movie theater in my hometown closed permanently, and was later replaced by a restaurant and parking lot. One Saturday afternoon my daddy took us three kids to the abandoned theater area to try out his metal detector 'toy', a gift from a relative. Within a few minutes we had found over seven dollars in loose coins near where the theater's outdoor concession stand had once been. No doubt people buying snacks before the movie accidentally dropped dimes, quarters etc. in the grass in the semi-darkness and didn't realize it. Our excitement level was so high when we counted the coins, you would've thought we won the lottery!
