All Treasure Hunting
I went out to the woods at 7:30am, right after getting out of my night job. I stayed for 6 hours. Whenever I go hunting I always keep my eyes peeled for old bottles. Well today I spied a couple of old ones. I finally found an old thick greenish Coke bottle that was intact. I also found an old embossed bottle. It says "HORLICK'S MALTED MILK LUNCH TABLETS". So that was 2 firsts for me!!!

I also found 4 Wheat's, the oldest one is a 1913. So this is now my oldest Wheat Cent that I found to date. My previous oldest wheat cent was a 1918s that I found in the same woods. I can't wait to break into the Indian Head Cents!!!

I also found some more shotgun shells, and a pistol caseing and 2 pistol slugs (bullets).

Another first for me, I found 3 lipsticks, 2 complete with dried up remnants of lipstick still inside, and 1 cap. I also found a gold or gold plated pendant. It turned out to be a "Brotherhood of Railroads Trainsmen" pendant. If anybody has an approximate date on it, I would appreciate it.

Nice finds.

I just read about Horlick's last night.
 
Awsome finds! with the fact that you found 4 weaties I am surprised you did not find any silver. The You Tube link was great. I enjoyed the watching the video. What a great idea!

Hi fiend, Very nice finds. Th brotherhood of
trainmen were around in1916 but i dontknow
when they started. They joined the brotherhood
of locomotive engeneers @ firemen in 1969
and became something else. Nice video. Jim
 
Hi fiend, Very nice finds.

the early coke bottles were embossed w/ the words Coke a Cola
on them & some had dates on the base & the location they were
made for (town). You tell Twistidd to get on the ball and make
some GOOD finds too & post them.
 
Thanks for looking everybody!!! :thumbsup:
