New Dectector and some cool finds

[OmgFathead]

Hey yall I have been lurking for awhile now and finally decided to jump in. My boys and I bought our first detector an Ace 250 and are having the times of our lives with it. We hit our swimming hole and the surrounding woods with it this weekend. We didn't find much to brag about with the detector but while digging up beer cans and pull tabs we had a few cool finds. The clay pieces have designs in them and one has a beveled edge on the inside I think they are pieces of Indian pottery. The bottle reads " Belfast & Dublin Cantrell & Cochrane" in raised print on the sides and has a rounded bottom.

Cool finds! I have a bottle just like that, except mine says corey on one side and Belfast on the other. They were from Belfast england and made for ships. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the addiction. Glad you and the kids had the chance to get out together. That's what it's all about. Those are some great finds, especially since it's kind of new to you. Best of luck in your future hunts.

Very nice finds OmgFathead and welcome to tnet! I remember when I was young,
we used to call those type of bottles "Torpedo" bottles!

Nice point. I am still looking for my first. I thought I would chime in since it seems we must be related.

Welcome to Tnet,,,,,,Nice arrow head. So whats up with the round bottom on the bottle?

Torpedo bottles can be quite valueable, you may want to go back and check for more of those.

Welcome to Tnet,,,,,,Nice arrow head. So whats up with the round bottom on the bottle?

I have been doing some research on the bottle and found that it contained either ginger ale or soda water. The reason for the round bottom was so it always had to lay on its side so the liquid would keep the cork from drying out.
