I finally got out metal detecting. Dave and I hit the woods. A couple quick hours of wandering the woods for the buried treasure.

We discovered two bottle dumps from the 1800s.

Often I find bottle pieces and plate fragments but, this was an exceptional find because many bottles were found between some boulders in the middle of the woods.

I also found a 1875 dime and an indianhead penny a couple yards from the bottles. Dave found a nice locket that seems to be silver plated. Good find Dave!

I hope this year I get the opportunity to get out often… But, today, yard work and Alyssa’s birthday party.

Gotta go!
