Yesterday, I finally made it back to the old homesite I was able to detect a couple of weeks ago. It was very windy, and the freshly plowed fields and the bulldozed sites freely gave up dust to harass the intrepid MDer. After about 4 hours, I returned home looking like a dirt clod and my eyes feeling like they were full of sandpaper. And all I found were a few more bottles, and a clad 1965 dime.
I really wish the lip of the Orange Crush bottle hadn't been broken. The patent date on it is July 20, 1920. I thought the medicine bottles were interesting, especially the two older ones with screw tops.
Sorry about not getting a pic of the dime, but it was in my pocket and I forgot to take the picture. But, hey, it is only a badly tarnished clad dime that was found on the surface. Evidently, the dozer had exposed it.
For those of you that remember the old plow that was there and suggested I try to get it, I wish I had listened. It had been bulldozed into a trash pile and was destroyed. Oh, well, the wife would have shot me for bringing it home anyway. FWIW, it was a McCormack-Deering.
