I recently dug 4 bricks in a city dump site dating to the late 1800's to early 1900's stamped with CRUSH. Was there a brick company named CRUSH or possibly a town by that name? They were approximately 6 ft. below the surface in the vicinity of Jefferson, TX.

Like tcp said, Google is your friend.

To help you narrow in on research, you should learn some basic search engine tricks.
If you just type in 'crush brick' for instance...you'll get over 15 million hits to wade through...

Since you're looking for a company called "Crush Brick CO" in texas, you can drastically narrow your search by typing this in Google:
"crush brick co" texas

The quote marks are important because they make it specifically that phrase 'Crush Brick CO' and adding Texas to the end narrows the number of Google results to about 80...virtually all of which have the info you're looking for!

Most real treasure hunting involves hours of research, and Google should be where you start.
Becoming familiar with it (and other internet tools, such as historic map sites) is as important as familiarizing yourself with your detector.

(Note that you could have also narrowed your search with any other specific phrases such as "brick names"...just use your imagination.)

I just went back to read about crush brick but could not find find it again. Crush bricks were made in Crush, TX. The name of the town was later changed to Thermos, TX.
