Decided to post my our finds from the last couple of months (my sons, my girlfriend, and me). Bottles, relics, misc oddities.

Soda/Water Bottles:
J.F. Hennessey, Willimantic, CT - Late 1800's blown in mold
Wawbeek Spring Water Co., Springfield, CT - Early 1900's machine made

Medicines: Early to mid 1900's - machine made
Milk of Magnesia (blue)
Vicks (med. size blue)
Vicks Va-Tro-Nol (small dark blue)
Bromo-Seltzer (small light blue)
Pompeian Massage Cream
Vaseline Chesebrough NY
Poison with skull and crossbones (small brown bottle)
Hoyts 5 cent German Cologne (Late 1800s blown in mold)

Horlicks Malted Milk - early 1900's machine made
Atwoods Jaundice Bitters - early 1900's machine made
Premier - early 1900's machine made
Canning Jar -Whitney Mason Pat'd 1858

Relics
Horse bit and part of harness with leather attached from 1850's farm house cellar hole.

Bright star lid (does anyone know what this came from?), 1904 buckle, misc. oddities were dug at an old mill site dump.

That's it so far, not much for coins, but we've been digging and detecting a lot of cellar holes. All of the items came from in and around the Mansfield/Coventry/Willimantic CT area.

Thanks TreasureFiend. We're heading out this weekend to a few more cellar holes I researched. I'll post those finds next week.
