The landscapers are here digging up the driveway and yard and been finding some really cool stuff lately. Buried treasures as I like to call them. The first thing they found was an old cobalt blue bottle. Isn’t it beautiful!?
The HH did some research and discovered it was an old milk of magnesia bottle {with some cloudy liquid still inside!!!}. How cool is that?
I dared him to open it and have a swig but he declined. 😉
The guys also found coal. I don’t know why I was so excited about this but I was. Maybe the previous owners had a coal stove at some point?
Who knows.
Another cool find was a mercury dime from 1936. I have no idea how they even spotted that.
It made me wonder though if there was some sort of cache underground or if someone just happened to drop a dime. I told the HH he should dust off his metal detector and see if he can find some more coins.
According to the Google the dime is worth anywhere from $2-10.
So far we’re up to 2 blue bottles, 2 small lotion {??} jars {the HH thinks the dark blue one might be a Vick’s vapor rub jar}, an old dime, a piece of coal, an old perfume {?} bottle and some sort of red thingamajig.
I wonder what we’ll find next!?
Have you ever found anything cool while digging in your yard? Anything you’d consider buried treasure? Curious minds want to know.
Peace Out.
