Dan --- Whoa.
Such is the curse of the metal detectorist 50 years later (we can suppose...but never really KNOW). I mean, you might be righ! My mind took me to a guy who wandered 500 yards from a parking lot....downed a couple of bottles of the hard stuff....then burried his now broken pledge on top of the empties in a clear act of rebellion/defiance.
You got me which. I'm still the "young whipper-snapper" here. I was born in the 1960's. The gin bottles i found both had lead seal cap rings on them....dating them to about the 1940's. I tossed the empty glass into the proper trash containers, and gave my wife the sad little sobriety token. She promised to pray over it with her prayer group, for the troubled soul who felt the need to perform such a secret burrial ceremony so long ago.
We'll never know exactly what....but someone was wrestling with some pretty scary demons under that very tree ....20 odd years before I was born. :o(
A WARNING to all you prospective metal detectorists....might not just be pop tabs and pennies you unearth....but a few deep thought prevoking insights into humanity as well........
