Not sure if anyone is interested is fun past finds…
I found a first edition, flat top Budweiser beer can; circa 1936.
I was metal detecting a shallow creek in Wisconsin with my AT Pro and found this about 12” under water, sand and gravel.
Identified it through the internet. Kind of comical they had to print instructions on it to open it.
I was surprised at its good condition, being steel and under water for potentially a long time!

That's cool!

Looks like they didn't follow the opening instructions, it appears they used a pocket knife!

That's really neat. Prohibition had only ended in December of 1933, so to find a beer can from 1936, especially one made of steel from under water in good shape, is impressive. It's certainly a desirable piece for anyone interested in the American beer industry being so iconic and so early.
