This was a c1860 homesite that I first detected in 2015, the winter wheat was harvested here in June. The other day I was driving by and noticed the ground had been turned, so I decided to hit it yesterday for a few hours. It never ceases to amaze me how something as small as a Scoville wick adjustment knob sounds so loud under the coil of the Deus.
Up until this point I had found very little in the way of a ‘keeper’, then I got a 75 – 78. I thought, “great, aluminum can slaw”, but instead out popped a 1920 Canadian silver Five Cent Piece! I gave it a quick tongue bath and took a couple of pics. This is the first ‘Fishie’ I’ve found in over six years! “The Canadian five-cent coin, commonly called a nickel, is a coin worth five cents or one-twentieth of a Canadian dollar. It was patterned on the corresponding coin in the neighboring United States. The denomination had been introduced in 1858 as a small, thin sterling silver coin, that was colloquially known as a "fish scale," not a nickel. The larger base metal version made of nickel, and called a "nickel," was introduced as a Canadian coin in 1922."
The small ‘Duraglas’ brown bottle with bakelite top was an eyeball find, the rubber bulb on the top has rotted away but the glass tube inside was still intact. This little brown bottle with a bakelite top and glass dropper is an Owens-Illinois Glass Company produced medicine ‘dropper’ bottle made in the 1930s. “The Owens-Illinois Glass Company was the result of the 1929 merger between two glass-making giants of the industry: Owens Bottle Company (Toledo, OH; predecessor Toledo Glass Company.” The number on the LEFT of the diamond logo is the plant code number, the number on the RIGHT is a year date code, and the number below the logo indicates the mold number… “4” was Clarksburg, WV."
Thanks very much for looking!
