Old RC Cola bottle and a Key

[Ammoman]

Once again I hit one of my pounded permissions. This time I used a different program.
The results were not even close to my last hunt but I did not get skunked.

It is rare for me to dig a complete bottle when coin hunting because my shovel tends to break them. But this bottle was just beyond my shovels initial reach and my pinpointer sounded off in a way that made me think I was close enough to the target to ditch the shovel.

Come to find out, a large piece of scrap copper was directly under the bottle







And a key with a possible date



Anyhow, not a great day for finds but the weather was perfect and a good day for learning
my new detector.

HH everyone!

Royal Crown cola. Your bottle dates to the 30s. Here is a shot I found on the net.

Thanks guys. I did a little poking around and it looks like the bottle might be from the 1930’s.
If anyone can help date it more precisely, it would be appreciated.

The RC, Triangle and star are embossed giving it a date of somewhere around 1937 but it does not have "property of Nehi bottleing co on or near the bottom.

i can't find a single example on the net that shows a bottle like mine. I may post this on the "what is it" form.

The key? It may be a decorative piece.

Those are two nice finds. Great job on getting that bottle out without cracking it.

LOL when i saw the green glass and the pinpointer going off on the glass i was sure i had a jar full of money!

Cool RC bottle and key too. Bet that bottle was filled several times throughout its life. Awesome save! Congrats!

Love the bottle, they are just as fun as metal detecting at times.

Jar full of money lol you think like me good job with the finds and hope the new detecor works well for you. I was thinking the key could be an old mail box key anyway I like it. Good job my friend Tommy
