Today after work I hit the woods close to where I found the breast plate . It was a dump site at one time and there is iron every where.
I started picking a few relics out of the iron and brier patches . The best are two cuff buttons. Lots of relics in there but the brush is thick.
I also picked up a soda bottle that I would think is from the 40s.
The neatest thing was a J hook right under the leaf litter and also one of the bullets was only about an inch deep. Going to try again this weekend. I know there is another plate hiding in there somewhere. :coffee2:

Sent from my g2x on the go using TreasureNet App
 

Sometimes you got to battle the briars to get the good stuff! I think that soda dates back into the 1930s.
 

Cool finds and a really neat Soda bottle................HH
 

cool Bottle ! :icon_thumright: ....Buttons also interesting .. but almost go blind. :laughing1:
 

Nice finds - get you a briar suit and a machette and conquer - LOL
 

Hello birdman,

I do admire that Honey Boy, sir. I expect it dates to the 1920's or 30's. Does it have a city embossed, or perhaps an "LGW" mark? I'd really like to see cleaned up photos in natural light, if you're so inclined, please.

The bottle guys call this style a Deco soda. Thanks for showing us.

Surf, it does have "LGW" on the bottom. What does that stand for? Sorry a better camera is on my wish list for this year. This one is a cheapo and has a hard time with close ups.

Love the bottle! all said and done looks like you did awsome.

Hey bird man,

It's the mark of Laurens Glass Works, Laurens, SC. They made a ton of early soda bottles. Are there any numbers bracketing the LGW?

Photos are unclear. Do you have a little tulip icon on your camera? That might allow you to get all up close a bit better. :happysmiley:

Thanks for the information. Good stuff!
I have seen some more bottles there but noting else worth picking up.
I had micro on ,just a cheap camera. The only other it has is "min.
conts.9.FL.OZ"
 

WHAT! You found a breast plate!? I missed that one. :P But congrats on it! :) WTG on all these super finds too. That bottle is very kewl.

:hello:
oh...and maybe try more/natural lighting for the camera. That seems to help.
 

Nana, How ya been?:hello: I found the breast plate about 2-3 weeks ago and still can't stop looking at it.
I will try the natural light thing next time I have something good to post.
