Nice stuff. Good luck. I'm going to wait until the temp is above 40!

Pic "9C" is glassware made by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. (Diamond entwined with/superimposed over an oval [letter O] with an “I” in center) This particular mark was used from 1929 to the mid-1950s, with a few bottles carrying the mark into the late 1950s. It is easily the most common glass manufacturer’s mark seen on containers made in the mid-twentieth century in the US, and the most plentiful mark on glass found at dump sites that date from the 1930s-1950s era.

Duraglas is the trademark.

Here are all the coins I found in the camp minus my first silver (1946 Roosevelt).
And the 1882 IHC was 500ft away in my yard.
These are my first good finds MD.
1st wheat’s
1st buffalo
1st and only silver quarter
1st Indian
And of course my 1st silver anything.
Maybe Mercury #3.
I did clear a lot of brush to get to these.
I was just geeked that I found my first good coins on my own property. Nothing besides logger’s and boy scouts where here until I built my house in 2007.
I would have never understood where all these coins came from if it wasn’t for one of the former scouts telling me that they camped here.

That's how it goes. You learn from people what was where. Also, I dug my first coin 5 or 6 yards out my back door. A 1942 silver quarter. Know the feeling...its great.
