I stupidly forgot to charge up the Excal.
So my time in the water was very limited yesterday.
It is almost impossible to dig in the mud in some areas without pulling up a ton of broken glass.
This small area that I have been working recently only encompasses 50 feet by 75 feet and was very heavily used as a popular swimming spot.
Some of this broken glass is modern but much of it is period glass. The broken white container is a MacLaren's Imperial Cheese jar circa 1890-1920. And I am only up to my waist while finding this crap.
Occasionally a whole one pops up like this 3 in one oil company glass bottle. "1905-1910 The corporate charter is amended and the name of the company is changed from G.W. Cole to 3-IN-ONE Oil Company. Green glass bottles having the name 3-IN-ONE in raised letters and a cork stopper are sold. Circa 1910 metal screw-top caps make their appearance, while the rest of the bottle remains the same."
I have said before that it is almost impossible to find a single clear target and this explains a lot.
I gave up on counting the copper square nails in this lump once I hit 30.
And the wooden thing, which I thought might be a napkin ring is actually some sort of wooden wheel.
Here is the cleaned up brass and copper from the short hunt.
Nothing special but I did once again get an assortment of shell casings From the 38-40 live round down to the tinny Henry 22s.
