Found 6 Mckenzies Dandelion ale bottles, green blob tops with pictorial of two men holding up a bottle with waterfall in the background and dandelion flowers in the foreground, hundreds of broken ones with which I cut down and made dringing glasses out of. Couple of years ago that was and in the same year I found 6 Townsville ginger beers in 30 seconds. Hope this years is close to that one. Cheers, Ian

WOW that's awesome, I live near Camp Shelby in Hattiesburg, MS and we go dig in their dumps a lot, mostly broken stuff but we have brought back some nice dummy shells, plates and plenty of Hattiesburg Coca Cola bottles.

Nice find codd commando [] , I've never found a complete handgun but do have a .25 hex twist rifled barrel off an early one, probably a rimfire as I found a few large caliber CB caps in the same spot. Also found the barrel of a muzzle loading shot gun in the same place, both detecting finds.
Other interesting "things" I've found are a live 20mm shell, heaps of live ammo ranging from very early to modern (and .22BB Cap to .50 BMG) and bits of exploded shells and munitions of all sorts [8D] .

LIVE 0.50 BMG rounds IRISH?[:-]Those would make a mess!Don't think you'll get me to go detecting with you on somebody's firing range![][]

It was more the 20mm shell that I was concerned about, a pick blow to one of them could really mess up a dig [] .
