I understand that there is a few of the SCD flasks with the palm leaves in different positions ?? that make those flasks very valuable??......

So here are the 5 half pints I have dug. Two Union versions and Three JoJo's. One of the JoJo's and one of the Unions are still quite dirty as the have micro-cracks or something on the backs and I am worried that if I wash them that they will break. The other three bottles are mostly clean and clear. The clean Union Flask is perfect and wonky. The neck leans towards the front of the bottle and has raised scarring left from the mold. Hope you Enjoy!

I think I like the flask better then the first one. Can you picture the embossed beer or soda bottles. Did you find any Hutchinson bottles? LEON. P.S. Nice finds.

The most common are probably the Jo Jo's ( $15 to $50 ) the Unions I have seen sell around $100. That all depends on the particular variant though. There are some rare ones that sell for much more. I would look them up if I were you. I wouldn't stop digging there until there were no more bottles ! Lol :). Mitch

I am also a Chas native and enjoy digging and metal detecting. I really like the things you hace posted. I was wondering if you had ever dug up a Coca-Cola bottle downtown. I recently dug one.Looks to be a slug design, the shape falls within the period when the bottling company was opened in Chas, 1899-1903 I think. Not a very big window so im guessing there are not to many. I cant seem to find any info on them or value.Bottle is embossed withCoca-Cola Botling CoCharleston ScAny info or have you yourself seen these
