Metal Detecting
I went to Oronoco park detecting and I got 2 Indian Head Cents 1900 & 1904 and a Liberty Nickel 1907.
I was digging iron because i had found a 1910 cola bottle from Rochester with the cap still on it and other old bottles in the past when i get a good iron signal.
About 8 inches down i found tin and small plates and little glass things that look like they are candle holders. I had to dig wider and longer hole and dig rocks out and when i was done the hole was 2 feet long 1 1/2 feet wide and 2 feet deep.
The small pitcher says Royal Gemi-Porcelain. The big pitcher was Royal Ironstone China 'Johnson Bros ,England.
the 14 little plates are John Maddock & Sons ,England ,Royal Vitreous and the 6 clear glass things might be candle holders don't know.
This place is in a wooded area were they had very small cabins i think 8 or 10. below the hill in the mowed grass was a dance hall in the 1920's that burnt in 1926. In the woods near the lake not any more was 4 footings that i was told the Mayo Brothers had a cabin.
I haven't found the bottle dump yet and i hope it's in the woods. england 001.jpgDSCF2118.JPGDSCF2104.JPGDSCF2105.JPGDSCF2105.JPGDSCF2106.JPGDSCF2107.JPGDSCF2108.JPGDSCF2109.JPGDSCF2110.JPGDSCF2111.JPGDSCF2112.JPGDSCF2113.JPGDSCF2114.JPGDSCF2115.JPGDSCF2116.JPGDSCF2117.JPGDSCF2118.JPGDSCF2122.JPGDSCF2121.JPGDSCF2123.JPG

The 7 little round plates are Wedgwood.
My neighbor said The John Maddock & Sons are 1878.

Wedgewood can be quite valuable. !!! Many different patterns, styles, and artists. Man that is a really cool find. Great job. Cant wait to see some bottles too.
 

The retrieval of all those fragile relics speak volumes about your patience and diligence in reclaiming them from Mother Earth..........
