Hello all,,,
I run into something a little different today. I was hunting the edge of one of the local ball fields and decided to go into the small wooded area that was adjacent to it. There were a few foot paths running threw it, but I was mainly hunting the ground between all the trees when ever possible. I only found a total of 14 cents when I run across an old fence line that had been torn down sometime in the past. Just beyond the fence was a small ravine loaded with pieces of old bottles, jugs, and other various treasures.
At this time I set the detector down for the first time ever on a hunt and started looking around. I found a number of older bottles, an old insulator, and a few other small trinkets just laying on the surface. The only piece of metal found worth keeping was what looks like the top of an old copper salt shaker.
Two of my favorites from this haul are pictured below. The first one almost brought me to tears when I saw that it was cracked, and the stem had been broken. It's amber in color, with a flower design etched into it. The second is the old insulator. It's marked, " HEMINGRAY ", with, " No. 9 " on the back. My first nice insulator... Any info an these, or any of the other items would be greatfully appreciated...
This is my first bottle dump since I was a kid, and didn't know any better, and I will definitely be going back to see what all else is there. I only did a quick search of the surface before my hands were full of glass, so I decided to leave it for another day when I'm a little more prepared to carry everything. I can't wait to dig in and really see what all is there. I seen a lot of broken treasure all over the area...
Hope ya all have had some luck, & Happy hunting~
P.S.> I'll update this post after going back for an update...
I'm going to hit this area pretty hard...
