I went to the spot where in found that Reales to see if they opened up anymore land next to my spot that’s been built on now. Not yet, but you gotta check often because “progress” happens fast out here. I did go around some outskirts and keep my eyes open. I found another sad iron, but my eyes where my friends today. I found a late 1800’s Carter’s Ink bottle fully intact. It was just the rim sticking out glad I checked because it looked just like a regular bottle. I was pleasantly surprised. I also found my first buckle from a old sight. Not to sure how old it is but happy to have it. View attachment 1581100View attachment 1581101

Those ink jars are highly collectable. In the 70s and 80s my dad was an antique collector. He once sold a white milk glass ink jar for $ 500 to a collector in NY. Nice finds !
 

Nice job on the relics!
