Another couple hours at the old dump provided a snuff box(?), a Hoover Dam token, a Boulder Dam token (same dam but 1932-1947 time frame), a WW1 army air corps pin, a small religious medal, a good luck token, a Barber quarter (my first!), and 2 mercs.

The coins were all stuck together and it took almost an hour in the electrolysis tank to separate them. They look to had been exposed to fire. The Barber quarter is 1911, the unscathed merc, which was in the middle of the stack, is a 1917, and the really bad one is 1920 something.

This fancy bottle was sticking out of the ground, wish it was whole. Does anyone recognize it?

I'll get back out there this week and see what else is awaiting discovery!

Hey oldmxrat, you are doing great findings.

Congrats.


Keep posting what is coming
 

Thanks bud, been wondering about you, haven't seen any posts for a bit.
ahhh life just gets in the way sometimes my friend but trying to get back out more (loving the Legend btw so light and easy to use), happy spring good luck this year! Going to scope out a large freshwater beach later this week (we just had spring break here) so maybe a post later this week containing some shiny stuff of the Karat variety. Take care. :)
 

That bottle would have really been something in one piece; super color and design.
