UPDATE!! I think I might have found the oldest pewter olive oil cap in the world.


I went back to the park and use the 15 inch equinox Coil and it had me digging deep I did find something interesting but I’m not sure what it is and I can’t find it on the Internet. All I can make out is that it’s French and says A****HE (I think) PUGET MARSEILLE. It was apparently a screw top of some sort and made of what reminds me of pewter. It rang up on a solid 16 at 9 inches and I really wouldn’t dig anything on the equinox at 16 but it was so solid and deep I had to see what it was and this is it. Any help would be much appreciated. Also some weird lead pieces and what nots. One thing I could say about this coil your arms won’t hurting from swinging it but they’ll sure be hurting from digging it.

Don't think will help but...

Mont Puget is a mountain, part of Marseille-Cassis calanques, located south-east of Marseille. Like most Marseille mountains, it is formed from limestone.

Keep looking Spanish was big around here and so were battles. Still hard to find but persistence is key my friend.
