Detector(s) used
Garrett AT Pro, Garrett AT Max, Equinox 900
Went detecting in the woods below a logging road and above a creek which used to be worked for gold in the 1800's.

A complete pick axe was a nice find. Lots of times, at least one of the ends is broken off.

Surprise find was a bottle of beer that still had the cap on and it appears to still be carbonated. Looks like it's from 1974. I'll be inviting some of my detecting buddies over to celebrate. :laughing7: I'm sure 43 year old beer that's been sitting on the forest floor all this time is going to taste great!! :occasion14:

Yea .. Blitz beer. Hasn't been produced since early 80's. Appropriate name for a beer don't you think??
 
If u drink that, you'll...

wait for it...

Blatz! 😂
 
even I would have to think twice before I drank that
 
Blitz was nasty 40 years ago ...... maybe, like wine, it has aged well but I highly doubt it
 
Henry Weinhard's finest!
 
Hahaha. Pretty neat. That bottle cap paid off.
 
Is that where the saying "I got blitzed" came from? I'm going to google it.
 
A first for you and you'll probably won't dig another, display it well.:tongue3:
 
It rings up at around $2.50 a bottle here, but I think he should discount that one a little ! What a find. It would make a nice display piece.
So, I have to know. What does beer ring up at??
 
Ed, do you think the loggers drank beer? Wait a minute, I've been around a number of those fella's years ago, and if I recall.........why yes, I believe they did. Responsibly of course.

I heard down along the Susquehanna in PA was a wild bar scene back in the day with the loggers....Good place to get in a fight mostly, is what I was told.
 
So a logger bought two Blitz beers in 1974 because they were cheap and he could afford two beers instead of his usual one. He thought he had made a great decision until he took a swig out of the first one. It was so disgusting that he threw the unopened one as far into the woods as he could. I suggest you drink it to test my theory. If it is tasty, I must be on the wrong track. Please get back to me with your findings.
