Mornin all.

Bart , you found the toilet seat hinge...(?)
False walls. Chains leading to buckets.
Top of a top plate.
A hollow cut in the top edge of a door.
Under the door's threshold. Or behind a stair if a stair was involved.
A raised house could be flood potential related. Or just an attempt to curb termite enthusiasm.
Lots of ways to hide gold coins in an outhouse.
And the privacy to do so.

Toilet seat hinge....I would never have guessed. Ill have to look them up.

 

[Blak bart]

Toilet seat hinge....I would never have guessed. Ill have to look them up.

And with no structure remaining as the wood is long gone , those hiding places crumbling still leaves any coin that was there unrecovered , still unrecovered. Maybe.

If you or I hid gold coins around our place , would we "naturally" hide it all in one place , or hedge our bets?
A bulk can be secured. And can be in an area anyone poking around would be exposed. (Thus gardens being mentioned in more cases than your site's.)
But some smaller amounts can be kept convenient. Here and there where easy to recover un noticed. That preserves the effort of camouflaging a carefully situated bulk site of long term caching.. In an easy to notice someone attempting any recovery.

If the man had chickens , they were jealously protected.
Combined with other domestic critters that sounded alarm when disturbed at night ,(I've had chickens that only gave me the stink eye at night when invading thier space) there may be other sites on the site with little evidence left today...
You don't mess with a mans livestock at night. At least not without hazard.
Making thier areas are not so bad for a cache.
Under a feed bin has proven productive.
As with floors. Or earth of a floor. And a host of other points.

These were down deep.....in those roots that pepper was talking about !!

 

[releventchair]

Yup....there it is !!

Too new for your site , the part number starts with 1857.

Lots of others occupied the land....after wahalton was killed, the land lay undisturbed for 7 years. In 1844 one of the Russell family immigrated to the site and it became a busy wrecking spot.....farming was continued and eventually 17 homes were here, complete with concrete roads in the 1930s......it was the railroad that killed the community as cheap vegetables and the decline of wrecking led to its demise.....by the 1940s there was only 2 or 3 homes left. One home remains , and it was once owned by al capone. The area was used during prohibition for smuggling, and illegal stills. Another reason to search for caches !!

 

[Blak bart]

Most items are from the 40s on up.....it became a dumping spot also.....later in the 80s many bales of pot and coke came in here. Just seems like one of those spots in plain view, that no one knows has so much history !!

 

[bill from lachine]

Yup....there it is !!

We're having some stuffed chicken breast pound them down nice and thin and stuff them with cream cheese some seasonings and chopped up and cooked swiss chard from the garden. And I'll roast up a medley of veggies from the fridge and garden.

You can pretty much use any veggies you have or like. I'll be using some bell peppers, onions, rhutabaga, carrots, small potatoes and garlic gotta have lots of garlic..... olive oil, some lemon juice and herbs, etc...

 

[bill from lachine]

Here's a stuffed chicken breast similar to how we'll do ours.

Now this rightly sucks, dark already.
I wanted to go play this late pm, and got the 👌from the Mrs.
Then I was doing something and realized that the time allotted was for the closing up chores.
Well that just sucks.
So the plan is to go out tomorrow and play all day.
Now I have to get this body moving in the early.
Got a 10 site permission that I might say hello too again as it's been awhile since I have been there.
