Made it out this weekend with MetalHeadz and Steve in PA. Here are my weekend finds.

Cream top milk bottles are my favorite bottles to collect.

FYI, the braided hair LC was my first surface find of an old coin, just under a leaf.

Nice handful Thad. I have found a couple KG coppers just under the leaves. I wonder if they just float on top of the ground or if they eroded out at some point. You came away with a couple nice bottles. That guy didn't dig much of a hole. I wonder if he quit because of the roots or if the stuff was too modern. There's more there if someone wants to put the work in.

I got the other cream top, it was barely visible and had to be dug out. I found a similar heart ring earlier this year. That's the best 1880s V I've ever seen dug from western PA.

Thx. I thought the roundness under the leaf was for sure a modern quarter, was shocked that it was a 150+ year old coin on the surface. Yeah that bottle hole looks promising for 1800’s bottles.

Thx. Fun getting out with you guys and coming home with some history.

Great finds! I've never found any good coins on the surface but I really like hearing about it through other people! Congrats. I definitely wonder how it got to there. My theory is that frost pushed it up through expansion and contraction of the ground.
