The title pretty much explains it all.
Posted this last night on the bottle area, thought I had posted here as well.

That's what you get for doing anything at 1:00 in the morning)
First time out really detecting, after moving from Colorado.
(Have done a couple of beach hunts, not the relic searching that I prefer).
Dug a small handful of silver, including a sweet 1926 S.L.
A Toasted Buffalo was cemented to a 191? Merc, had to soak awhile before they would separate.
Definitely different soil than what I'm used to, all the silver would be heavily encased in soil.
Thinking the gold heart is plated, still too encrusted to tell 100%
This Coke was sticking half out of the mud.
Amazed that the backhoe hadn't destroyed it, he crushed a few other bottles.
It's a straight sided, clear Coca-Cola, from what I've read, 1909 (Has the #247 on the bottom)
No idea to it scarcity, only saw one mention online.
Any new info would be gratefully appreciated, and thanks for viewing!
