Fishconner10 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Chuck Ferrara invited me and my dad fossil hunting on the Saturday before Easter. We woke up at 5:30 am and met up at the boat ramp at 7 am. We got to the spot 2 hours later after seeing two small gators and tons of turtles. It was shallow so we had to walk a little bit, while walking I found a 1974 Pepsi bottle, sadly it was missing the paint but still cool. We dug for a while there finding some gator teeth and other little goodies. We all agreed to change spots and float downstream a little bit to another . The spot we dug in was a deep murky area, my dad and I found 10 mammoth chunks and 4 nice horse teeth among other goodies, chuck found heartbreaker megs and other goodies like mammoth teeth chunks and other odds and ends. At that spot my dad was digging while I sifted and picked through, and he found a 70s Gatorade bottle. And the once and in a life time part.... we found a old metal sign.

Fishconner10 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 The sign says "Charles Cookies" Charles chips branches off in the 50s to cookies and pretzels. Sadly the sign was shot it's cleaned now, it was worse, luckily the rust brushed off. I think it's from the 70s, I never thought we would find a sign while digging for fossils! Definitely one of my favorite finds from the peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbshark Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Nice horse teeth I found an older bottle yesterday too. My hunting buddy said likely 40-50s but unfortunately no distinguishing marks Every once in a great while it's not just a big rock down there!

Shellseeker Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was out today -- Gorgeous!!! and I found a bottle -- I love Duraglas bottles because the bottle identifies itself . 3 in front of all seeing eye means made in Fairmount West Virginia and "58" after the all seeing eye means made in 1958..

I found a cow vertebrae yesterday, it got my heart pumping for a second I thought it was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
