Four hour hunt

[Pdr206]

Local to me, tennis courts next to arboretum (place for trees!)

Shocked to find the coke bottle from asbury park nj in amazing shape. No idea on date. To Esso oil cans, smashed of course and a coach bag zipper tag. All are new finds for me! Was excited about the Esso cans

Two older shotgun brasses. Any clue on age?

Looks like old vette but is made in china. No makers mark.

78 cents in modern clad, oldest 1968 quarter. Not pictured is the 3 lbs of trash removed. Mostly surface rubbish. Sigh.

Thanks!

I found a matching Nitro Club shotgun shell last week. Doing some research, looks like they were manufactured from 1894-1910. Cool finds!

Nice finds I think the gun shells date from late 20's -1940 I had a few from my grandpa still hat the paper on them burned in a house fire tho.

Very interesting! Like the 1952 bottle!

All those finds are way cool, here is a link to a website for ageing shot shell head-stamps (comes in handy sometimes for ageing your sites)
