Todays find was almost "ME"
I went out Sunday afternoon to find old site. I didn’t find it, got turned around and lost my bearings for a few till I heard some gunshots and then I knew where to go to find the old road. I did find some old rusted junk cans and bottles from around the 60’s I think. Here is an old metal bottle, I‘m not sure what was in it.
These 2 soda bottle was laying nearby . With magnifier I can make out Silver Seal Soda, the banner on back says: Produced and bottled by American Soda Water Co. St. Louis, Mo.
I also found these 2 jars near by too. One does not have a screw on type top, this is made by Ball. The other does have a screw on lid type and it’s manufacture is an A between an arch.
On the way back I stopped at this site from late 60’s where a trailer use to sit. I found 3 Altoids cans, but lost one on the way home. I opened it at site and found a letter dating 2005, It started Dear God and had a couple of names at end. I didn’t read it, figured I do that at home. The other two also had letters say pretty much the same thing, these dated 2004 and 2006. There is a camp about a ½ mile away, so probably some kids messing around and buried them. They were around 2” to 3” deep.
The bad part of the day was I got home and wife about killed me. She lost power just after I left 3 hours before and no way to get ahold of me. Then it took a friend of ours and I 3 more hours to find out every other breaker wasn’t working and fix it for now.
Thanks for looking.

I used to search for those beer cans when I was a kid. We called them "cone tops".
but read the title of the one and it said Dear God, and was signed by a guy and girl, I was thinking oh no, Suiside letter. YIKES. Read it when I got home, but lost that one along the way back. 
. if you do not leave a message written on them and children back in 50 years to laugh. 
Deer season is still going on here.
