Was out metal detecting finding some goodies

Very cool indeed. Unbroken bottle is a nice plus as the others have said.

Cool find, I actually used mine on the weekend to find a 30" chainsaw chain I had sat down last week and lost.
Had already dragged a rake through all the sawdust trying to find it without any success, detector found it straight up under about 4" of sawdust.
Have never really found much of any interest with it, probably about $10 worth of coins but used it once before to locate a trap I had set as a hay set and then had cattle get in the paddock and spread a bale of hay over about 10square yards.
I did get all excited once detecting some of the old mullock heaps from 1800's gold mining, how a spark plug got into one and buried under 12" soil and rock I dont know.

There is a spot down on the lower areas of my property that has a trail that people referred to as "the old carriage road", and it's just an overgrown trail now. I was walking the property line in that area a couple years back putting up new posted signs, and came across a circular arrangement of rocks about 4 feet in diameter. Clearly man made, and sure looked to me to have been a well of some sort. It was filled in, but that area would have water within a couple feet if someone dug down there. I still go look at that when I'm down in that area, and it still sparks my imagination. There must have been houses or cabins or something down there, why else would there be a well? I have one of those Harbour Freight metal detectors, and that is a place that I'd love to search around with that someday.
