wow those cleaned up very well, and I like how your not giving any clues or details on locaton. Loose lips sink ships. Once too many people get wind,then everyone shows up and trhe no trespassing signs go up.. I think one of the spots we put kayaks in will be shut down by the city soon, noticed 3 or 4 jeeps with metal detactors twice in the last week, they are under cutting the bank so much its gonna make it dangerous for people walking on top of the banks. good luck goo hunting and lets do it again soon

Sounds like an awesome spot. Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks Jim for the info. It actually reads H'B'G', so perhaps a really funky abbreviation for Harrisburg? I wonder if they charged by the letter and "J.P.F." was a really cheap fellow.

Taylor what was the name of that green bottle you found that was broken , you siad it was the first you had seen in green, was it a bitters? I want to keep an eye out for it. Jeeps were back again starting to attract attention I notice a cranston cop questioning them while I was walking my dog. Hopefully that will keep them away for awhile so I can dig in that spot ...is that wrong of me?

I would have to agree with your assessment on that being a Harrisburg abbreviation

Steve,
I have no clue what it was, I'd need to see it again. Odds are I'll never see a whole one, or never recognize it if I do.

Rob,
Thanks a ton! I should have checked it on that site but didn't. I'm surprised it could be worth that much. Mine's def. the $5 version lol

I like that McKenna, Nice finds! []

J.P.F. was from Harrisburg, the H.B.C. could be the Harrisburg Bottling Company....

That H.B.G. is the abbreviation for Harrisburg Pa
