hit the bottle dump last night

[funkman]

Came home early from the in-laws and called my former Cub Scout to see if he wanted to detect last night instead of today (homework is more important). Well he said sure and I met him at the place where all the bottles were dumped. Him and myself had the detectors and my two kids I had searching for whole bottles and jars. Let me tell you we came home with quite a few bottles!
Unfortunatley we didn't come up with any coins. There was just too much trash and foil and vegetation there to properly detect. My DIT (Detectorist-in-Training) did come up with the winner of the day. He dug up and old fork that was engraved with "MYH" on the end. I tried to get a close up of the engraving but it is too blurry. Have to figure out how to get better close up shots. Anyway there is a pic of him holding his fork.
I only dug up trash and 2 interesting items. One was a key with "P & F Corbin New Britian CT" on it. The other I have no idea what it is and will post it in the 'what is it' section. Anyway we had a good time and hope you enjoy the pics.

BTW the one brown bottle has a Revolutionary War soldier on it and some other stuff around the bottle (ships, flag). The cap was still on this one and it says "Frankfort Distillery".

got this also...This my daughter found. Was not buried, just laying on top of ground. Looks like a lid to a ring box or pill box. It measures 1 7/8 by 1 7/8.
