Wandering in the woods with my V3i & SEF part 2

[Ytcoinshooter]

I went back to the same location, it's a hilly often steep wooded site. Based in the old style (can opener) rusty Schlitz cans and other obvious signs it had been a boozing spot for many decades. There's got to be a good chance to wander over a keeper. Today I stuck to digging mainly the coin signals with only a couple of hours to hunt. Less than 1/2 hour in a got a really nice coin signal. Again I used only my fingers and fiberglass probe to break up the soil. I was so hoping for a date but I remember all the dateless pre 1925 quarters from when I was a kid so this may have been drop from around the 50's - 60's.

came onto this bent copper something that shows no sign of ever being a button.

but the biggest surprise was this can of Billy Beer! I walked up on it in plain sight, moved it enough to see the whole name for the pic. Then I decided to hang onto it for ha-ha's.

see my surprise - my what the #%$@? face.

I never tasted this brew when it came out, dang!

I don't think you missed much by not tasting it. Keep up the good finds.

Nice standing liberty. Looks like you're in a nice spot.

Blaaaaahhhh! Bad beer! Mash 4077 beer was better. But the can is worth about a buck on the collectors market.

Looks like a fun hunt. I would guess the copper is a railroad penny. Thanks for sharing and HH -Marc
