    2014 First Outing - Coins & Bottles

    I was out of town all of last week and when I returned and was driving through town I ran across a street project that I did not think was supposed to start until summer. This was motivation to throw my gear in the car. So out I went Saturday morning for a few hours. I found three wheat cents and three IH's. Then headed to some house demo sites to look for bottles and found some nice ones.

    Looks like you found yourself a dandy of a spot. Love the bottles and you have a nice buckle hidden in your photo. There doesn't happen to be an S on the back of that 08 Indian?

    Great finds especially the bottles. The last few hunts I have had i finally found full bottles. The oldest I 've been able to date is pre 1888. Didn't find a single full bottle all last year, so I guess this is going to be the year of the bottle. Safe & HH
