Hello everyone. I'm a bottle collector from RI, but I also have a soft spot for metal artifacts. I currently own more than 1,400 different bottles from Rhode Island, including medicine, soda, beer, whiskey, and milk bottles. This is my lifelong passion and I hope to open a museum one day.
One cannot avoid finding a lot of cool artifacts while digging for bottles. From small glass buttons to buried cars, I've seen a lot! I have found a handful of coins, which mainly consist of wheat pennies, and more recently a few more collectible examples (Indian heads, Mercury dimes, V nickel, Standing liberty quarter). I have also found a lot of buttons, which is my main reason for joining the site. I live near an old mill which I believe recycled old clothing. I will make a post about this particular site in the future.
While I do not own a metal detector, I plan to get one soon. There are dozens of different locations I'd love to explore.
