If that ivory piece has a hole in one end, I’d bet it’s a calligraphy stylus and would nibs that could be replaced when worn down from so much writing. 😀
The Durkee's logo is a gauntlet. Durkee's Famous Sauce is still sold in supermarkets today. Get some ham slices, cream cheese and roll them up , cut in bites and dip in the sauce. Great appetizer for any occasion 😊
WOW what a dig,I remember the days when your dad & other family members would sit around & watch you dig,Your the only channel that digs territory bottles,which are so historical!From the beginning you have always been my favorite & always will!Great dig guys!
I love your new channel Tom! I loved watching you on the other channel too, but you seem so much more relaxed now. And also seem to be searching for and finding older sites. Love it! I wish I could do what you do, but I am fairly certain that I'd have a heart attack before getting 2 ft. down into the dirt... 😳😱😂 I'd have to have someone do the hard digging for me, until it would reach down to where the "finds" are and I'd take over. 😉 There are times that one does wish one was at least 30 yrs. younger. Weird reason for why, but hey! We've all got our quirks and stuff we'd like to do, but realize to late that, damn, why didn't I do that sooner!! 😁
Why would anybody want to put bluing in a bottle that small? Can you imagine the trick of getting it poured from the larger bottle!---What explains the ability of that label that it survived the site?---Ew, that hunk of lime, with all that occurred to make it solid. We always had a can in the outhouse, but it gets sprinkled, not dumped. Ugh!---I correctly assumed that the mucilages were used for glue purposes, which could have been used for those bottles minus their labels. I just learned, tho', that the mucilages were also beneficial for upper respiratory conditions. Learned something new today!---Makes me wonder how many pits are in the woods around our 1888 Farmstead!
Evidently you don't know much about a trees root structure. What little damage he might have done to the roots did nothing to hurt that tree. The root ball probably spreads out a good 15 feet or more all around that trees base.
It is just a Chinese Elm and surprised it is even still alive. Dutch Elm Disease usually takes them out before they get this size. Looks like a good place to find a moral mushroom. As much as I like shade trees, that specimen is on its last leg from what I seen of it, for it does have the disease.
It takes alot more to kill a tree of that size. Think about all the trees that have been struck by lightning, had the top broken out, been scraped by logging equipment, etc.
