Latest Update: Some silver, lots of bottles. PIC HEAVY.
Okay, so this happened maybe about a month ago. Went to my favorite spot and dug a funky 70-75 on the AT Pro, with my brand new 5X8 coil. Dug down and pulled a 1940 wheat, then I ran over it again. Perfect 82-83 and I could see a Mercury in the hole. The date caught me off guard--1917, and an S mint mark at that! Comparing to the other 1917 I pulled out of there.. Wow
All the coins I've dug at this spot. Think it ran dry so this is it.
Went back after school one day, got a booming 85 VDI about 2 inches down, figured it was clad. Out puts a 62 quarter with several pieces of iron in the hole. That's the 5X8 for ya!
Now, fast forward to the last few days. I haven't metal detected in for a while because I ran out of spots and too chicken to do permissions. Rode my bike around my neighborhood and found my very first bottle dump. It is very old and is believed to be the dump of a local hotel that once ran here, as pottery isund there with the hotels logo on it. It recently has been dug and they plan to put more houses on it (joy...). So, it was time to save some history. Here's everything I found in the past few days. Sorry for sideways pics. Does anyone know anything about the GREEN Bromo Seltzer??? I am baffled, I dug it in the same spot as everything else.
