Lots of nice stuff. I've been to Rocklin many times and never stopped to detect. Sheesh.

Very nice variety of things and .... Nice haul.

The bottle on the left appears to be a Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce bottle. Is that what it is? Nice to find the stopper with it. WTG

Happy Hunting & Happy New Year!!! (oh yeah - 1843 dime - my oldest coin i dug there also)

I hope you don't mind me asking all these questions but I'm in the learning stage. How did you find out about the buildings in the first place and how did you find out about the fire

hi born2md- its a well known fact to the locals that the town of rocklin burned down 3 times. so i looked up the history of rocklin on the net & bam -there it was! also my ex girl friend lived 2 doors down from that old lot on what used to be the main street.

Nice digs you got there.Looks like you got a great site,might want to make a sifter to use there, since your digging down so deep anyway.A spot like that could keep you busy for months on end! Welcome to the Treasurenet forum,if your like the rest of us,you'll be hooked on this site too! Good luck and H.H.-looking forward to your posts.
