Camp hunt - day 1

[Michiganne]

Here's our first shorter hunt at the camp. We hit a wooded area and an old campground. We all found several wheats, Ron a silver Washington quarter, and Charlie dug a nice Barber quarter near a rock pile. My best find was probably the Gillette Slim Adjustable razor (manufactured 1961-68). It still opens and closes perfectly. A woman I know who sells antiques told me she recently sold a similar one for $25.

HH and thanks for looking,
Michiganne

My finds




My best wheatie, 1913.
(looks like Abe didn't use a safety razor )


Ron gave me this cool purplish glass he found in the woods.
Maybe you bottle people can enlighten me on it?

The bottle is a cork top Whiskey that had a paper label on it at one time. It dates between 1885 and approx 1914. The purple color comes from a cleansing agent to make the bottle clear. They did not figure it turned the glass purple if left in the sun so they took out the manganese in approx 1914....

Great find...
