Pfffft...Metal Detectors...

...who needs them!

On the way home from work I stopped to check out a bottle dump close to my house. This isn't a typical bottle dump though. From the 40s through the 60s there was a bottling Plant beside where I currently live and they would dump the broken bottles into the river near the railroad tracks. The end result is thousands of broken bottles (mostly Acadia and Evangeline pop) making up the bank. I have found a couple unbroken bottles here but they are literally 1 in a thousand. I checked out an area I hadn't checked before and saw this...see it?

A detector just makes it easy but paying attention works too!

At this time I have only seen Trapper340 's Post & romeo's 25 cent piece (nice). but can not see it in the picture. Lot's of round shiny things in the pic, Is that it in the lower left of the picture? Then again why would u shoot it out of center?
I fig it out.
Nice Find R1

Thats it! I shot it out of centre to shoe the concentration of glass and to make its a little more difficult to see...just for fun!

Took me about one or two minutes, you could have made it easier for me by at least centering the pic. I felt like I was doing one of those FB "do you remember what this is (don't ruin it for others" post Good eyeballs!

 

[Rogue Relic Hunter]

Of course we see it. We can eyeball coins at 100 yards!

 

[trapperart]

Congrats

 

[pepperj]

Very cool! Nice piece of silver.

Nice eye ball find! I need my detector for my tent peg collection. Although I am close to a hundred dollars in dog walking eyeball finds this year.
