Okay,one week from my last find which I believe is a Irish Halfpenny 1682 Charles 2nd.Was found near the cob I found last week,(1st pic).I went again this friday to a couple of other places I've researched,and the first place turned up a Braided Hair Large Cent,and a 1853 Half Dime and some sort of knife,and a adze.Also buttons, the normal chunks of lead,and more teeth almost everytime I find two or three of them.But just like the 4th of july there was a grand finale at the end of my hunt yesterday!!! :o. For me it was a dream come true,see I have looked shorelines relic hunted alot of places,and worked on the water pretty much all my life,commercial fishing all up and down the east coast.I've seen peices of them I knew they had been around, BUT NEVER FOUND A WHOLE ONE TILL NOW!!! ;D ;D ;D.There it was pretty as a picture washed out of the shoreline laying on a pile of old bricks from the place I had researched.I couldn't beleive it.! 1700 To 1740 circa. black glass English mallet wine bottle.I couldn't beleive I had finally found one no chips,cracks at all!

Nice finds. That bottle looks to be really old ::) Very crudely made (blob top) WTG on the old coin if that is what it is for sure

Thanks DMN,no I tell you to have found one like this that is almost 300 years old to me is a big deal around here,lots of peices,I say alot,but even peices are'nt every were here.But I hate to even touch it,scared I'll break it or something.Besides I think it adds charm to something like that.
Thanks again!

That is one super awesome find! Congratulations on it!! My buddy and I have been hunting some Colonial sites, and I keep hoping on hope to find the trash pits, but so far to no avail.

That is an awsome bottle. I have been hunting and collecting old bottles for about 10 years and have not found anything like it. I was starting to believe that there weren't anymore of them to be found. I also liked the coins and a silver cob is also a prize find. Sounds like you had an amazing week of hunting.
