Thread: New permission!

    New permission!

    I got a new permission at an 1870s house that is being lifted which gave me access to under the house. Lots of trash in the yard. Glass bottle stop, 1940s lipstick case, 1946 Rosie, 1943 Wheat, 6 good bottles, 7th has a crack in it, a large ornate D-buckle (horse tack?), the big 0 thing is brass w/ 2 stars and an ornate design on top, a few broken hand blown round bottom wine bottles, some pottery pieces and the normal trash and clad. Looking forward to digging some more next weekend. No coins older than the 1940s so far. Kind of odd unless it has been hunted before but was told it was not.

    Nice scores. Definitely worth a trip back if possible. Love the old bottles. Always willing to put the detector down for the old glass if the opportunity arises. Iron buckle-like think at top left in bottom pic could be an old tub handle. Found several over the years and the design and size are quite similar. Congrats!
