PART 2 - "This Old House"
Well, the weather here in NC was cold and rainy today, so I decided to go back to the old property I've been searching since I could hunt with a roof over my head. As you can see the house is about on it's last leg. Other pictures provided are of some of the outbuildings and outhouse too.
Someone has discovered my secret hunting place, because a lot of boards had been ripped off the walls since I was there last week. I started ripping out boards that there around windows and doorways, that hadn't been checked yet. Well, guess what? It was my lucky day! In a small room extension (pantry?) off the kitchen in back, I saw the boards over the doorway had not been pulled yet. From inside the room I pulled a few boards and noticed a flat bottle sitting on the ledge over the doorway. It was covered with mice nesting material. (See pictures) My heart was pumping now. I slowly pulled out the nesting material, and the bottle. There was also some kind of key (?) up there, along with a jar lid (Boyd's Genuine Porcelain). Unfortunately, no cache. Darn! I just wonder why this was sealed from both sides, and if perhaps coins used to be in the jar lid? I know this isn't a mega-treasure, but to me it was an exciting find. In the outhouse, I dug up the belt buckle, buttons, etc.
In one of the sheds, I found a corked bottle with white powder in it. I have no idea what it is inside? I doubt this was Cheech & Chong's old place.
Well, that was my day. No big finds, but a ton of fun exploring.
Does anyone know what that key looking thing is that was behind the wall? It is heavy and looks like lead. Note the air bubbles in it when it was made. There is also a "+" stamped into it. Help?
Another long-winded story from me.

I'd dig the outhouse if i were you could be some good shi...stuff there ! 
I didn't see any more input over on your original post after Papa and I tossed in a bit-o-our input, so I'm glad now to have found you alive and well over here on your new post, episode 2. 
I had been out of here for a while and over at my other TH'ing board lately too, sharing a few laughs and some goodies with the kool folk over there, so I've decided to spend most of the day in here to-day and make up for some valuable lost time. Time to catch up to waz up... 
) and then generous (large word these days) enough to carfully record it and then share it over the miles with us all, you also s-l-o-w-e-d everything down and extended the xhileratin (sp) of the whole experience, for YOU And, all of us, your readership. And what, all just so that we may enjoy a part of the thrill you felt, even better? This says much for who you are and sort of why you are feeling all these Kool feelings at this point in your life dude. 8) Actions have always spoken louder than words! Your words seem to be well chosen my friend and from the heart and definately Xite us here esp. with the visual additions of your "live scene creations" which we eagerly vacuum up into our homes, whenever we see your posts. You're one of our favs already mr. man... 8)
well by speeding up, to slow down, of course. 
Only you can decideMM just how and when and how fast or slow this wonderful ol' relic is to be worked on. Sure looks good on ya, whatever way you work it friend. 8)
