So far vacation has been a blast. I have not been able to dig in the bottle dump due to the tides and too many people being around so I have been kayaking and looking for differant places to detect. I went to a beach that is not private property but you have to get there by boat or go up a private drive. The beach looked promising and it turned out to be pretty good. After about 6 hours detecting it with no one else around which was nice, I left with 4 silver dimes(2 mercs and two roseys) several wheat pennies ,two buffaloes , a tiny 1947 Netherlands coin ,clad and a gold chain .Most of the coins are in ruff shape but the dimes should clean up ok. They are just really tarnished due to the salt water. The charm on the chain is only plated but the chain is 14K. As I started hunting up toward the woods away from the water line I looked up to see an old bottle sticking out of the bank. As I got close to it I knew it was an old one and I slowly dug it out to find that the top was broke(the heart breaker). I dug half of the bank out looking for the other piece but no luck. The bottle says "Johann Hoff" but nothing else. It will still display well but I wish I could find the rest of it. I still have a few days here so I hope I will have something else to post . Thanks for looking and HH.
