Hello Tnet. Been fortunate to get out and detect and walk the river the last few weeks. Weather and bugs have been good so I'm swinging the coil more and more. Also using the peepers looking for glass in parts of the river. Had an awesome last two weeks.
I'll start with the glass which is now the oldest and best I have found to date. Here is the group shot.
Below is a Cold Spring G. Banse which was made in Cedarburg Wi in the early 1870s. About as old as you can get in Wisconsin (I think). Love that the wire top is still attached after 150 years!
Here is a The Storck Brewery bottle from what is now Slinger Wisconsin. I guess the name changed at some point in the past. Didnt known that. This one is from 1888 to 1894. No kidding when I was cleaning this one in the river, a stork flew overhead. Neat experience for sure.
Below is a Hutchinsons John Graff Soda Bottle from late 1800s to early 1900s. Gotta love the hutches. So thick and heavy.
This one is my favorite of the week. Couldn't believe it was in one piece when I found it. A Lash's Bitters Kidney and Liver bottle. My best guess is turn of the centurey. Love the ripples in the glass when this one was made. Any Info on age is much appreciated.
Last one is a 1930s Roxie Soda Water from Waukesha Wi.
The last 3 land hunts I did all produced silver and all quarters at that. I've been detecting for 6 years now. Before 2 weeks ago I had only 2 quarters. I have since found 4 more. 2 in one hunt! I hope the silver streak continues. That puts me at 10 silvers for the year. 4 quarters, 4 Mercs and 2 rings.
Thanks for taking a peek. Hope to be posting more often. Thunderstorm made for a no go hunt today. Can't wait for cool weather and bug free hunts to end the season. Good luck and happy hunting everyone.
