Doc Bach Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Wise decision Captain. There are definitely far better, easier and more lucrative options out there.Sometimes my tinfoil hat takes over my thinking and I am like a dog chasing its own tail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PI-Man Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Great finds! I am with CPT I have a habit of running into the most dangerous critters when I do the crawling thing. Snakes seem to like me — the rattling kind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I always had more bad luck with the two legged variety that I would encounter when I was crawling in and out of bars.Back when I was young and dumb and full of...well you know the rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryC/Oregon Coast Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Some of my best finds were from under houses, especially houses that were removed except for the foundation. Lots of coins and marbles end up down the floor heater vents. Really like your cigarette packet find. Sold a log cabin beer can I found under a house in the 70's for $50.00 bucks. Lots of money back then. Now it's worth $1000.00. Gotta love that old stuff. Nice finds!!! GaryC/Oregon Coast 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that you pointed out is true.I started crawling houses in the early 60's primarily looking for antique bottles and found some killer ones at that.But like you said beer and other cans in mint condition would often turn up as well as the marbles coins and tokens.Was the log cabin can from Portland by any chance? I have two pumpkinseed flask from the log cabin saloon Billy Winter proprietor.I really like your comment.... Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_in_CA Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Great story. I love crawling around under the crawl-spaces of old buildings. It's amazing what could slip through drip grates and vents and so forth in-the-old-days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
