Me & Tom made some good finds yesterday. We got out last weekend but did not find much because we both found out as soon as we started probing, That the tips of our probes were totally worn out & gone, making it difficult to probe. So fast forward to next weekend, specifically Yesterday (Saturday) & Toms feeling confident with his new probe tip & ready to go. Like a bonehead I forgot to retip my probe so only got Toms. We hit a old lot in a old Downtown section & start probing. BUT, Back corner of lot that Tom felt a good spot before, he can't seem to find. The ground is Rock hard & his new tip would not Penetrate the hard ground because Toms tip was now the size of a round golf ball with no point. I kept calling it a bowling ball. SO, I suggest we go to my Buddies house in country where he sez his Grandpa's house is built on a dump. We pay him a visit but he's too busy to escort us to Grandpa's. SO, We drove through some old country towns to look around at the old house's & Building's. I spot a construction site between 2 old building in downtown, I say Hey, Let's stop & check it out, Tom figures it's no good, dirt piles look like to much sand, I'm thinking the dirt piles all in the front of lot, not in back so probably no good. But we pull in behind it in alley to check it out anyways. At first we see nothing in dirt & just a small trench dug with concrete in it for a Foundation. Then I see a old broken beer bottom on top of dirt, then a old medicine bottle covered with dirt & highly camouflaged in with the dirt. I'm standing there looking towards the dirt pile & Tom is talking to me with his back to the dirt pile & looking over my shoulder, Suddenly Tom takes off running behind me in a mad dash in the middle of our conversation. I turn around to see what's up & I see Tom picking up a Cobalt Blue Hutch & Embossed Medicine bottle from the grass that Apparantly the Contruction workers must of tossed there. Tom wipes the dirt off Hutch & sez I dont see any writing, He keeps wiping & turning & sez what the heck, it's a Slick No Name Hutch. We think that's highly unlikely. Then I see the name & yell out it's a ZUBER. One I'm very Familiar with. Tom later sez whats a zuber? Now this time as I'm talking to Tom as he's looking over his Zuber & Med I'm looking over his shoulder & see what looks like a 1870's Black Glass beer bottle just sitting on the A/C Unit behind him. Now I do to him what he did to me, I dash behind him all the time saying Yeah, but look, you forgot one & proceed to pick up the black glass beer bottle, Tom sez I didn't see it. I say I was standing next to that hutch for 5 minutes right behind my feet & didn't see it. Here's some pics. LEON.
