    Civil War Relic, Drawer Pull Handle or what?

    I found what looks like a little copper or brass jar near a CW camp and homesite. It has an open fluted neck, a bulbous end with a threaded pattern going around the circumference and it has a small hole at the bottom. I suppose it could be a drawer handle pull due to the hole at the bottom, but...

    Found my first old bottle at a site that I have found several 1920's and 30's era items at. Anyone know the approx. date and value (if any) of this Purex bottle? With my luck, it's a really common item, but at least it is in-tact.

    First Hunt since V3i Upgrade

    Stopped by home to pick up the V3i this evening (it's too hot to keep the detector in the truck all day) and ran over to hit a roadside carnival that just left. I had an hour to kill and found these on the High Trash program with the D2 coil. Total for the hour was $10.44.
