    1st white gold, second plat & old bottle

    Last Sunday went to a spot in the woods with SilverStar(Mike) that we have been to many times before.My third signal was this sterling rooster bracelet.After a couple square nail finds and shotgun shells I dug up this old bottle with the stopper still intact,Danner and Weidner, Elgin IL.(7in tall)Roots and soil had grown in the upper half and it took me 30 minutes just to clean it all out..Found no coins, but was glad for the silver and bottle....

    Woke up before the sun rose today and hit two tot lots, found nothing besides
    clad and switched to the baseball field.Found my first white gold 14k 5.6g band.Then a 2007 George Washington dollar coin.Got a nice nickel signal and out came this 9.8g Scott Kay platinum ring.Clad = $7.56, thanks
    for looking.HH.

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments.My summer detecting was slow due to the drought here in the midwest.
