The Old Folks Home

Thank you, my friends. It's just so hard to deal with when they are new born. I don't think I'll ever get used to it and hope I never do.

I think we got up 15 stones today

Here's the fun stuff

Found the green glass thay almost looks like fish scales on it in the ground behind a very old stone. Anyone know what it may have looked like before breaking? It is rounded and I found a stem like handle thing

Found this under the old stone next to the stone with the green glass. Obviously a little boys marker that broke and someone threw it into the hole for another stone. No records so gone since at least 1958

This super old stone held the green glass .the front has the name and age but if you look really really close the back has a Willow tree and urn carved in .that's super rare.

A pet project of mine went up today. My mortar job and I helped pour the base .

This old stone had the little boys stone in the hole .I put it back and documented it in case I ever find more of it. I buried it closer to the grass line too for ease of finding and protection. Also this is how you level and then back fill a stone and hole when it is just you .

That is SO cool!!

Yes, we know it's a scam.

You would think that if someone is using a PayPal account the cops/FBI could find them pretty easily.

I would guess a grave thing .....

So vase for flowers or a small candle.

the knob/handle/stem bit might have been so it could sink a tad into the ground and stay put better.

That's what I was thinking also. Something like an eternity candle maybe?

Found behind early 1800s marker.

Friend thinks it is crackle glass but the crackle seems to be on the outer part not inner .so I don't know

Could not be from the old grave but it was down pretty far .

doesn't look that old to me.... I think it looks like pressed glass.

Good Morning Back at you Misty. I'm up early for a change.

Hope you had a great super summery day
