1891 IH , CW relics, & JFK Rose again!!!

My Saturday hunt was shortened to only 4 hours due to rain. We need rain BAD, so I'm happy we got some.
I started out hitting pasture #2 this morning and only finished half of it so far. I hit an area that seemed to be a CW relic hotspot.
Two CW bullets, chunk of lead, harmonic reed, and an iron piece that I am hoping can be ID'd as a CW relic too.
I wanted to cover other areas too, so I moved into the woods for awhile, pulling up a few buttons and a Big Frosty bottle.
I could see the sky getting dark, so I hit the yard around the house last.
Not a great day, but not too bad. The IH was frosting on the cake!
Here are my finds today:

*1891 IH (front yard)

*"London Colour Superfine" 18mm flat button (woods)

* Two CW bullets , lead chunk, and harmonica reed. (pasture)

*Unknown iron piece. Is this a CW gun tool? I swear I've seen something like this posted before on TN as a gun tool. Any idea?

*Oval buckle. (front of house)
Is this Colonial era?

*Wm. Rogers silver spoon (back yard)

* "John F. Kennedy" rose tag. He will be missed.

*"Big Frosty" bottle with "Hutaff" on the bottom. (woods)
Any idea on the age of this one?

Thanks for looking.
Hope you all did well this weekend.

Thanks Civil.
You're right, I need to get my butt out more into the woods before it's too late. I can save the easy pasture gridding for later.
I saw some snake bite protective leg pieces in a Cabella's magazine last week. They cover from your knees down. May not be a bad investment. Ticks I can deal with, but snakes, NOT!!!

Weasel,
WORK on a Saturday? What kind of employer does that? No respect. Go in and tell them that Saturday is your metal detecting day, and you're not going to do that anymore.
Happy birthday to your Grandaughter. She has a great Grandpa.

Okay Doug...Let's talk about that Bottle you got...First check for a seamline in the neck of the bottle. Does the line stop in the neck? If it runs all the way up to the lip and through it then it was made after 1907.

Don't dispair though...If it's not a well-known brand that could be a rare bottle. I have not heard of the product name before...I will check--Rick

It runs through the lip. I was thinking maybe 1950's era, but I've never heard of this brand?

Site # 1 Big Frosty embossed, Hutaff
This is a flavor bottle once used by Pepsi.
In Ayers' Pepsi price-guide, it is listed as a rare bottle

Q. Regarding last week's question from Lisa Beeson about her embossed Big Frosty bottle :

This bottle is indeed listed on page 43 of James Ayers' Pepsi-Cola Bottles Collectors Guide for $45, but I looked at the wrong bottle for the rareness level of 2. The bottle is listed in the book at a rareness level 4, which means it is RARE. Thank you to "PepsiDavid" Gerger, for bringing this to my attention.


Hope that's a start...RW

THANK YOU!!! Great info. I had better get out there and look for more bottles. There is a large deep area in the woods that a stream ran through at one time. There are bottles and glass items that I have spotted just walking by. The one I found on the surface a few weeks back was a perfume bottle from the early 1900's in beautiful shape. I'll keep my eyes open next time. Again, thanks Wyatt.

Nice stuff Doug. Every Hunt yeilds some good stuff. I like how you sorted things by location. That place is producing a decent number of IH's.

Man, I hate those rose tags.

Still too much snow here for detecting. We are suppose to get rain tomorrow so we should be good for the weekend. 8)

Nice finds Doug. How the heck did we miss the IH in the front yard?

It was right where their son parks his car out front.
I got all excited today, as I found two coins out in the woods. It was a two dime pocket spill. Anytime I find a coin in the woods it's a great feeling. Turns out they were only a 1966 & 1968. So close to silver.

Yeah, and the sad thing is they don't taste bad when you're hungry either. I think I've been watching too much Survivorman?
I found two more 1800's buttons today in that horse poo again. That make three poo buttons now. Maybe I'm on to something? Hmmmm.

I'll say one thing about you. When you're finished with a place... there's nothing left to be found. You're definitely the
