ID:	294570 I have hunted my old house site twice since the last post. For those that don't know I've discovered an early 1900 house site on my family property. These are my latest finds. It's has been really fun and a great learning experience finding and researching who these people were and what they lost and left behind. To be honest the paper trail has been my favorite part researching old deeds. My favorite find is definitely the Taylor-Cannady Buggy Co. logo. It is off of an 1900's horse drawn buggy. Strangest object found was my family dog's tag from 1990 at house site 100 feet past invisible fence line just weird to me. The 1954 rabies tag has nothing to do with the site to late. My second axe here! Fourth plow part. Biggest horse shoe I've ever found. It's been very enjoyable just wanted to show everyone. Wish I could find a good link and better picture of buggy?

          You have been having fun.
          I like how they advertise the popularity of the buggy by saying that there are "hundreds " of them in use.

            It wasa long way from Oxford NC to Charlotte NC by horse in the 1900's. I think I'm going to know the answer of how many nails it takes to build a 1900's house. Might have found the Outhouse another cluster of nails been told to dig there for bottles. Everywhere I dig I find broken glass artifacts. Thanks Friend not sure how to clean buggy trademark guess I need a tumbler?

            Try soaking it in vinegar for about one week then give it a light scrubbing with an SOS pad or steel wool.
