It's said by some that regardless of what I do, in 100 years it won't matter... Nobody will remember!!! I say bull malarkey!!! Found a piece of metal 2 days ago, almost went into trash but decided to keep it. It reads boyce moto meter.
Googled it, and found it was a radiator cap for a 1910-1920 car. Pretty cool except it was found in the desert.
I imagine the worst, yet hope for the best... Regardless, I remember almost 100 years ago when somebody's car overheated. God only knows the outcome, yet almost 100 years later I found a souvenir left behind by possibly somebody u are related to. Point is, is that whoever left this behind, left a trace of himself behind. It matters to me that I found it... So, however insignificant it may seem.... Somebody remembered!!!!! 100 year rule debunked!!!

A small hand blown green bottle sitting in the middle of a large rocky flat in Western Australia. No tree's for a kilometer, no signs of activity for several kilometers. Nearest town in the day of that bottle was 150k and the nearest Homestead more than 70k. Yet I walked up on this small monument while detecting. Stopped and picked it up and wondered. I found the weathered remains of the wire that kept the cork in but no cork. I turned off my detector and just spent 20 min having a drink myself and trying on the shoes of the one who left the bottle there. Who knows, in a hundred years someone else may stop at that bottle as well and think about it.
