So this just happened the other day. Doing work for someone whose house was built in 1780s. Put some cabinets together for her and went to put them where she wanted. Boom under a steam radiator DRAPED BUST staring at me. I showed her and she said i could have it. Seventh heaven. The copper shine of the coin is so awesome 15B24AA7-AB96-4E83-BA90-34B3F2A3C213.jpeg608E409D-8AEB-4AF8-A390-F9BB06080165.jpeg

Great find. I've found several old bottles under houses I've worked on over the years. I think this hobby increases our observation skills immensely.
