Last weeks jungle trek with pics

[Mirage]

Took a long trek back into the woods. This home site has got to be from the 1800's. Trouble is teens and kids have used it for years as a hangout place so trash is all over. Managed to find a few wheat pennies, a couple harness bells(one broken) and a neat "good for 5 cents in trade" token. All the other coins came from a couple other sites. Came across a friendly snake. Also, found the bank - empty. Too bad. Better luck next time.

Nice assortment, I love those old home sites you never know what you'll find. You can keep the snake though.

Hello Bob, very interesting finds. I like the token, unusual shape, haven't seen one like it. Do you have any idea on a date for it? The oval container with the attached plate is also interesting. Is that your son holding up the snake? I'm intrigued. Can't hold up snakes here, they're all poisonous! Well, it doesn't stop Garry holding a tiger by the tail! Come to the front door one day with it. I nearly died. I don't mind snakes though.

Looks like a great site but I wouldn't hunt a home site by myself. I noticed the well with a cover over it . Most of the time they used boards which rot over time. There may be more than one. Sometimes they were used to catch rainwater off the roof.

Here is a pic of the second well. Originally I thought it was the latrine but it is too close to the first one.
