Went out to a random field that I saw on a whim and did some hunting. Found a 1954 half buck uncle sam token, and some other relics, ball jar lids with milk glass let me know old stuff was around. There's not much evidence of a home that used to be there, but when digging around, I found planks of wood and some brick so I knew something was around.
Towards end of the hunt on the way to my car, I got a few nice high tones, 11-46 or so, dug and heard that familiar CRUNCH, dug up a PONDS cold cream jar that I broke.
The lid was with it... so I got another same ton, this time more carefully I retrieved another PONDS with the lid still sealed. I can hear water or something in this one, but it's tight and won't come out. I ended up opening this hole up and started pulling out a lot of EARLY 20th century stuff including a cup with 1906 on it or something. I still need to clean these all, can update later, but here's what I found in about 45 minutes, 15 bottles. All over 100 years old. I need to go back with a real shovel and see what else might be there. I hit a solid slab...which I guess is a rock? It's kind of flat, either way, I hope there's more. Oh and another one is this cool bottle with a little circle handle and a pour spout, looks about right for a syrup bottle.
