Default 1700's house goodies

I went detecting today to a 1700's house with my buddy sean. The first signal i got was an old shotgun shell. I kept detecting and i just dug trash and some pieces of iron with the trash in the hole. I started detecting the driveway and after some trash i got a very nice nickel signal. I dug down about 3 inches and there it was staring at me... a 1910 "V" Nickel... My oldest coin so far detecting. I was shocked and very happy. I just stared at my friend in disbelief. We went about detecting and found some more trash and a couple pennies.

We stopped detecting after about 4 hours. We were climbing up a hill on a hike and i saw a bottle sticking out. I dug it out and noticed it was kind of old. It says "Warranted Flask" on it. I thought it was a very cool find and not even looking for bottles. We made a shelter with my friend for fun.

Thanks for looking, HH!!
