I spent the last month metal detecting my neighbor's front yard and the old stone walls that run through the back woods. At the base of the big old tree in the front yard, where I found the 1818 Large Cent, I found a very old spoon. It was about 8 inches deep. I also found a musket ball not far from the spoon. Along the driveway, I dug a shallow target that turned out to be a New Hampshire Public Works & Highways token. On the other side of the driveway I dug a 1917 Wheat Cent and a gold plated flat button. While detecting along the old stonewalls, I got a shallow signal, and when I dug down I saw an old milk glass bottle. The jar was embossed and read: "Regstd Trade Mark Mentholatum Yucca Co. Wichita Kan". As I was digging around, I found another embossed jar that read, "Chas M. Higgins & Co. 3 oz. Brooklyn, N.Y.". I will try to get back there and see if I can find some more old bottles soon. Thanks for watching everyone, and HH.
