Hey all! I know I'm not a regular and I haven't been up here in forever but I had to share what my son, Nolan, found yesterday. Nolan is an avid treasure finder and antique lover. He has a true passion and an obsession with anything old. It just thrills his soul to find or buy an item from an antique store or auction. He just recently went to his first auction and he loved it. Recently, he was invited by an older couple to come and tour an old store building that they purchased and moved to their back yard to display their collection from the last 40 years of antique store finds, etc. He almost cried when he walked through the door of that old store. Yesterday, my husband and our two sons went for a stroll by a river and Nolan found these items. He was ecstatic. First item from left is a Civil War bullet. Second item is an old beer bottle that says Glennon's Pittston, Pa. Third item is a medicine bottle that says Dr. King's New Discovery For Coughs And Colds and on the side it says, H. E. Bucklen & Co. Fourth item is a soda bottle that says Braser It's So Bracing. It's funny because my husband and I spend a long time trying to find awesome finds with our metal detectors and one thing that we love to try and detect is Civil War bullets. My husband has found a couple but it takes dedication and much time, yet Nolan can walk on a riverbank and just simply stumble upon one. We had a hurricane flood our area recently and apparently the flood washed up some history. They can't wait to go back and find more.
