some random finds when exploring some backroads

[RCO]

found an interesting shard down by the river the other day , for simcoe dry ginger ale ( features the map portion of acl ) , is a local ginger ale from Orillia Ontario from the 50's - 60's

have this bottle already , it was also found locally , parents found it in a heavily wooded area on our own property seemed to be only 1 there would of been about 10 years ago

I also found a damaged one swimming a couple years ago but never found any in good condition

also found another " sobe " bottle , for lizard fuel flavour , found outdoors in a small wooded area off a busy road

went back to that wood lot where I found the Fanta cans last week , found more stuff further back , some of the cans were on the ground , others on a rocky hillside area

not many bottles - juice bottle , broken glass jar , clear no deposit no embossing , small screwtop druggist bottle , broken glass cup

lots of cans - 2 beer - Molson Stock Ale , never found it before , Labatts pilsner ( damaged ) , also 3 bottle caps for beer bottles , 2 are for kingsbeer

more coca cola . Canada dry ginger ale , pepsi , fresca , Tab , 2- grand prix - grape ( 1 can flat top , other pull top ) , Canada dry tonic water ( flat top ) , Yukon club - ginger ale , orange , Gini - bitter lemon ( flat top )

Borden's Milk shake ( flat top ) never heard of it before

some didn't clean up much , especially the 2 Tab and Yukon club Orange

checked the lakefront lot again , more liquor bottles and beer bottles ( green and amber stubby ) , yet to find a single soda bottle on it .

some soda/metal cans - 7up , coca cola , libby's tomato

a couple golf balls , glass jar , broken cup , some metal items

found an area which appears to have been an old parking area/roadway , didn't realise you could drive in there but didn't have time to metal detect it

 

[RCO]

also checked the lot where I've been finding some old cans , it appears to go deeper but bugs were so bad I didn't get to see whats back there and if it contains any bottles or cans

did check the original area near road again but with metal detector and found more cans along hillside

couple bottles , some liquor , glass jar , clear no deposit , broken pepsi no deposit

more cans - coca cola ( diamond design ) pull top , tab flat top cans , damaged Fanta grape flat top , pepsi , another " gini " can , a couple diamond beer cans

As a bottle and can digger from 40 yrs ago. ( they were in better shape then!). I didn’t think about that….) at what point do you leave them, and are you going to work magic with these? I’m liking the grape one! Because if u mess with these I have some cans u might want? I think they are far gone because 40 yrs ago, I guess we were spoiled!but any of these you can have- for postage only. As u can see, some are pretty shot out, is what I would grade them as. And it’s true what they say- rust never sleeps…. Even in the garage in a box for 40 years!

I bring a lot of cans " home " cause I find it too hard in the wild to determine which ones might clean up or not , sometimes there so rusted you can't even tell which brand they are

so I bring a lot home then sort thru them , I don't keep every can I bring home obviously , the damaged ones I toss out and keep the better ones in garage , not sure how many are there now but its growing and a large assortment mostly soda cans with the odd Canadian beer

I poked thru the lakeside lot again , mainly to metal detect the area which appeared to be some sort of road or parking area but didn't find much

couple beer bottles , wine bottle , some damaged cans - RC cola , coke , diet caffeine free coke , more golf balls , the odd metal item but no coins or items of interest

a libby's real fruit bottle wasn't sure how old it was or if it was old but is an expiry date on it of " 24 June 98 " and appears to be a product long since discontinued

You should message Leon (hemihampton on here) about those, he uses acid to clean the rust off the cans and since you can already see the paint on those cone tops they would probably clean up quite well.

Thanks for the shout out Canadian Bottles, I've already talked to them about those a Week ago. THANKS, LEON.


P.S. I'm sure the other Vultures lurking in here will contact them, they know who they are.
