Found this while walking through the woods on my way to a stock tank at our lease. Old cast iron teapot from who knows when. Missing the top and a couple pieces are broken off. I'd love to know how it got there and how old it was.

I have my grandmothers like that.....she was born 1909 married in 1924 (15 yrs old)....said her mother gave it to her as a wedding present...it was old then.....I have it now.....
Any writing on the bottom.....its missing the lid and handle...neat find....

Going to go with the rest of the stuff I've found out in the woods including this piece of a windmill.  I'll try and get a picture of it all later tonight.

With the location of it I'm wondering if it wasn't a campsite. I'm going to have to go walk around that area more next time I'm out there and see if there is anything else.

Could have fell off a chuck wagon. I've seen pictures with a kettle like that hanging from a rope off the side.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!
