Large cache of gold bars found in Philippines. As for me, I just hunt antique bottles with this equipment.

outhousepatrol
Nice equipment, but too rich for my blood!
If it wasn’t lined with brick, and next to (now dry) creek, I would figure we had a filled in outhouse behind the downstairs bedroom...built turn of the century & a commercial fruit farm at that time. I assume it was a dug well.
On our east 160, we also have a fallen in multi-room log house, from Model-T times: narrow, hand-laid rock ledges up the creek bed to form a road; scattered car parts; caved in buried stable room, with a ?? room behind it; a rock mounded probable grave with lilac bushes at each end. Remain of an outhouse fallen down the hillside near a parking terrace. A rock lined small-bore hole (well?) in the creekbed, near a largish natural rock shelter. No one locally seems to know anything about it.
On the adjoining Forest Service land, more building remains along a dirt road, next to a reliable spring.
When we bought this place, it had been abandoned for about 25 years; the basement shelves had dozens of quarts of home-canned corn labeled “1972”...Botulism In A Bottle my wife called it. The jars are washed & stored; the contents went down the much more modern 2-holer with a concrete foundation & floor.
