Default Today's Finds

Well I scanned the dirt basement floor before I concreted it but no coins were found

Then the lady needed a pit dug outside for water to flow in it from the gutters.
Charles and I dug a pit 4 feet wide by 4 feet deep and this is what I found while digging

Oh, I forgot to say we also hit a vein of solid coal about 3 feet down. That was neat digging through that coal...a first for me

That's some pretty looking glass there Greg. Congrats on those little beauties. I found a glass jar yesterday. Chesebrough manfg.co.cd new york, embossed lettering. Still has the original top, blue seal, trade mark, vaseline, petroleum jelly. Still looks like the original contents as well?!? Would the original contents still being in the bottle make it worth more or less? I also found a coconut?!? Weird day and funny finds, gotta love it. Swiz
