Research another location where a brickyard on the Hudson once resided. This location is opposite sand spit from yesterday. As I am walking on the spit, I see a bottle top protruding from the sand, said to myself, just another frag. Low and behold, a prohibition era bottle, nice find, but a dime a dozen to me. 10 minutes go by, wham, get a solid hit, a Dominican Republic 5 Centavos coin from 1974, I was like ok, that's strange. Twenty minutes later, after getting a plethora of iron hits (very common 'round these parts) another solid hit, a badly damaged 1852 large cent. Than literately, 5 ft away, another hit, however this one was odd, as I am digging, I start to see a cork stopper, digging a little further, I get the name "James Keiller & Sons Dundee Marmalade", its a fully intact marmalade stone jar! It is dated by letters under the wreath, so this one was letter Z, so its from 1920-1925, but the surprise was yet to come. Then inner chimpanzee in me, shook the jar to see if it had any contents and I started hearing clinking...I said to myself, this contains either jewelry or coins. Popped open the cork with my KBar (yes, a KBAR from an army navy store) Two coins in near pristine condition! an 1872 Russian 5 Kopek and a 1919 English Penny....wait what? Then I figured, since most of the brickyard workers were immigrants from Europe, it was probably from them...still odd. O yeah, and I picked up two skeleton keys to add to my collection.. Overall, a decent day.
