Some Keepers today

Hit my usual spot this morning for about 3 hours. Came out with a swim tag, silver spoon, and a aluminum token of some sort. The ground is hard on them. Also the 2 bottle. One says "Salt Lake Coca Cola Bottling Co." on it.

Thanks for looking!!

found a lil bit of info for ya...

A.B.CO................American Bottle Company (1905-1929). Chicago, IL (office - 1905-1916); Toledo, OH (office - 1916-1929). Glass plant locations at Streator, IL; Newark, OH; Belleville, IL; Massillon, OH & Wooster, OH. The American Bottle Company was purchased by Owens Bottle Machine Company in 1916 (with some of the plants being closed soon afterwards) but the Streator and Newark plants continued to operate under the American Bottle Co. name until 1929, when they became part of the merger that resulted in Owens-Illinois Glass Co. (For Streator and Newark plant marks from 1916 to 1929, see "17N" and "16S" entries). Most, if not all, of the "AB", "AB CO." and "A.B.CO." marked bottles are believed to date between 1905 and 1916. However, it is possible that some bottles with these markings might date between 1916 and 1929, but, if so, could only have been made at either the Streator or Newark plant.

Hey All

Excuse for asking as I'm a newbie to detecting but, how do you find the bottles? If they're under ground there's surely no way your detector will find them? Otherwise if they're on the ground or partly visible then it's self explanatory Just wondering... Thanks, OD

I just got lucky with the bottles. I usually dont look for them. But its a bonus when i find some.
