I am not sure if this is the place for this. I was detecting today at an old fishing camp that has grown over and the only thing to see is the bottle dumps. 3 piles with thousands of bottles and jars. The only problem is, nothing is all that old. Mostly 50s and 60s. Some are pretty cool but anything older is broke. Detecting wise, I didn't find much. 4 memorial pennies from the 70s and 2 clad quarters. I know there is good stuff to be found but did I mention the 100s of buried cans?
I did find these.
1955 10 oz Coke bottles

And here is the question. Does anyone know what this is from? Twist top w/ a flying eagleand "1776" on the top and "United States Bicentennial" written toward the bottom. This is really the only reason I took it.

I believe that was Smuckers Jam, 1976

Interesting, I have that exact same green barrel bottle stashed away in a box. I found mine just off the road in a wooded area near my friend's parent's business... back maybe 20 yr ago tho.

The jar is definitely a 1976 bicentennial edition , I would agree with Chris . A smuckers or planters peanut or the like

Thanks for the replies! I still can't find a pic online of this jar. Plenty of Smuckers bicentennial jars but not this design.
