Metal Detecting an abandoned 40's house site

Jewellery and Bottles!

I went out again at the weekend to investigate a site which i knew had a building on it untill the end of the 40's. Maps show that by the 70's that the house had been cleared.

When i arrived the site was more overgrown than it showed on the satellite maps, it took me a while to crawl through the wiry bushes using deer and roo tracks to get to an open area. The area was covered in iron and old bottles. I spent some time picking through the bottles but most of them were form the late 50's. You can check them out in my other post

I gave up having been cut to shreds by the prickly bushes and came back the next day to do a couple of parks. I managed to find a junk ring and a religious pendant. Nothing too exciting but it was a beautiful day and I just enjoyed being outside.
