Unique Things to Keep Your Eye Out For in Old Cemeteries

It's almost October, the time of the year when you want to roam through cemeteries until dark, maybe to impress someone on your first date. Don't ask me why; I've just heard that some people do that. One of them is the YouTuber behind Dime Store Adventures, who lays out what seems like a scavenger hunt for graveyard enthusiasts. Among the seven unusual things you can learn to identify is the Sears headstone. Yes, Sears and Roebuck sold everything at one time or another, and a hundred years ago you could get a gravestone by mail order. Even before that, you could get a gravestone made of zinc! These "zinkers" are still out there, which says something about their longevity. Once you learn how to identify them, you'll see them everywhere. Armed with the knowledge in this video, you'll have a lot more fun in a cemetery. -via Laughing Squid
