Seated Sunday!

[Brentallica]

Hey everyone! Got out for a 2 hour yard hunt Saturday and found the 63 Washington and Wheaties (37, 44, 51D). Got out today to a local sidewalk tear out. Those sidewalks sure are hard on Coppers, Ended up with my oldest Seated Dime to date - 1857. Didn't think it was gonna clean up. Tried my electric jewelry cleaner and even a hot peroxide bath. Finally, ended up using a baking soda paste and that did the trick - Thanks for the tip postalgriff!! The Coppers didn't clean up so good.....Toasted no date Canadian Large Cent, 2 crusty Indians (1876 and 1905), some other toasted holed coin (Canadian I think). Thanks for looking and good luck getting out before the ground is too hard!

Nice finds. This is what the whole bottle looked like only mine in amber. I have an aqua one but it's packed away.

View attachment 908408 Sweet old bottle Wolverine - did you find in the river? - I was reading online that Toledo Bottling Works started in 1838.

Sweet finds, Brent. Congrats on the seated! WTG on the other coins, crusty or not. What is the round object to the right of the bottle bottom? Glad you're still digging.

Yea I found it the river this past summer. The embossing Reads Green Seal Select around the elk head. Mine was a blown crown top so it's around the early 1900's.

Thanks Anne! Not exactly sure - I believe it is brass and seems to resemble something I could imagine off of the top of a bed post or something
