| 17th Century Hoard of 1000 Coins. Source: See LiveScience link below. |
A metal detectorist searching for discarded tractor parts on a Polish farm discovered a completely different type of valuable metal: A spectacular hoard of 17th-century coins buried beneath the soil.
The hoard — a vast stash of about 1,000 copper coins — was found in late February near the small village of Zaniówka in eastern Poland, near the borders with Belarus and Ukraine, by a local man, Michał Łotys...

If you see a screw top on a bottle or jar you probably think it is not very old, but some screw top containers are pretty old.
In 1858, a Vineland, New Jersey tinsmith named John Landis Mason (1832–1902) invented and patented a screw threaded glass jar or bottle that became known as the Mason jar (U.S. Patent No. 22,186.) (Source: Wikipedia.
For a more detailed history of that, here is a great link.

A screw top beer bottle was invented in 1879.
Bing says, Invented in the early 19th century, screw tops weren’t produced with any uniform standards. As a result, they weren’t widely used until machine-produced bottles became commonplace in the 1900s. Modern bottling production methods dictate the use of screw tops on soda and beer bottles.
Other sources give 1910 as the invention of the screw top bottle, and one site gives the invention of teh "modern" screw top as around 1940.
So screw tops can be pretty old. Screw tops were modified and improved over decades. Adoption was slow also.
Of course there are some products that still are found with cork closures, such as champagne and wine.

A couple months ago I explained how the Marxists are just as happy to see American institutions fail in order or the government to have an excuse to take them over. The recent failure of the Silicon Valley Bank bank provides a perfect example. There were private banks willing to purchase the assets of SVB, but instead the FDIC stepped in and effectively gained control of the failed bank. That is all part of the hate America and Great Reset strategy.

Good hunting,
