Caught my buddy's digging out there basement to put in a new concrete floor. There was a old one already there but they are breaking it up and removing it. They found a old cigar box in the wall below the old concrete with a few old 1950s baseball cards in it. So they called me to see if I wanted to poke around. Grabbed the detector and was on my way. Didn't find any coins or any other cool metal objects but what I did find was a ton of bottles and some marbles. All the bottles where around 2.5 to 3 feet under the loose dirt. The cool part is it is only 25% done. The other 75% doesn't even have the old concrete removed yet. I will be going back every Sunday to dig out all the goodies before they concrete it up again... Lots more to be had there. I could see some bottles protruding out of the part that still has concrete on it. I decided to leave them till next time instead of tunneling under the concrete to them. Found 75+ bottles today...Old Ink Wells Blue ones, A Mustard Jar (In The Pics.) I only took a few pics but next Sunday I will take the video camera. I would have taken it today but wasn't expecting as much as I got.

****SOMEONE PM"D ME AND SAID THAT THEY DIDNT THINK TO MANY PEOPLE WOULD LIKE THE PICTURE OF THE GIRL FLIPPING THE BIRD, BUT JUST SO YOU KNOW SHE ISNT FLIPPING THE BIRD SHE HAS HER FINGERS SPREAD OUT****

Incredible finds on those bottles. I can't believe the condition of those cards coming out of a basement. Can't wait to see what else you find. :thumbsup:
