The coins were not in abundance today, just a 44 wheat and 59 nickel. The 3 marbles popped out when digging the coins. I have only found 1 other marble detecting. Sort of cool to see the colors in the dirt. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1490379317.590088.jpg

I surface find old sofa bottles all the time when swinging, but rarely stop to check them out. Sort of not my goal when detecting. But this one caught my eye because it was really unique and in perfect condition.

Copy reads "Crescent Bottling Co. Trademark Registered Pittsburgh Pa. Con 8 Fl. oz"

I have not been able to find any info on this bottle online. If anyone knows were to dig up info on old soda/beer bottles pls let me know.

Good luck this weekend!

I like that bottle. 2 days ago I found my first marble digging what turned out to be trash. I'll be out today so hopefully I find something cool.

Nice bottle find, but I always like the marbles. I find a lot of them (clay and glass) on the surface in the fields I hunt.
