OLDEST FIND YET! 1830-40s cast iron pot!

[farmdump]

Today was sort of a weird treasure day. I got outside around 10:00 this morning and went back to my original dump site (it turns out that the place were I got the sweet poison belongs to someone else and I cant go back there and dig anymore . So I decided to turn right and dig by the creek. I found the top of a beer bottle in the creek but that was it. After searching in the woods for about an hour and 1/2 I decided to try a last ditch effort and see if I could make this day worthwhile.

I knew that there was a rock dump in front of the old barn and decided to try that. All I was finding was broken glass. I was bored so I decided to walk the property line and there it was. At first I though it was some sort of milk part but later found out that it was from a 1830s-40s cast iron pot! I was soooo excited! this has got to be my oldest find yet!

here it is:







enjoy!
