An Iowa woman shed tears of joy after finding hidden treasure buried in the Utah wilderness. The treasure had been buried by businessmen John Maxim and David Cline. They hid clues to its location in a poem they posted online riddled with pop culture clues and references. Chelsea Gotta's grueling search spanned 51 days...

A few days ago I did a post about horse tack. It is a good idea for Treasure Coast detectorists to know what old horse tack looks like. Below is an example of some colonial era tack.
In Colonial households, men typically purchased these showy trimmings. Indeed, they bought most things associated with the stable: horses or transportation. Horse milliners were the source for such tack...

If you hunt bottles on the Treasure Coast you'll probably find some W. & A. Gilbey bottles. They can go back to the 1850s, but those I've found were unfortunately modern screw tops.
The embossed name is hard to read and for a long time I thought it was H. & A. Gilbey, but it is actually W. & A Gilbey.
Wine and Spirit Merchants and Distillers. Producers of Gilbey's Gin.
1856 Walter Gilbey and Alfred Gilbey returned to London after the Crimean war and on the advice of their eldest brother, Henry Parry Gilbey, a wholesale wine-merchant, started in the retail wine and spirit trade, importing South African wines.
1857 Backed by capital obtained through Henry Gilbey, they opened a small retail business in a basement in Oxford Street, London.
The Cape wines proved popular, and within three years the brothers had 20,000 customers on their books. Agents were appointed throughout the UK to sell their wines to grocers shops.
1864 The Gilbey business increased so rapidly that, in 1864, Henry Gilbey abandoned his own undertaking to join his brothers.
1867 The three brothers secured the old Pantheon theatre and concert hall in Oxford Street for their headquarters.
1875 The firm purchased a large claret-producing estate in Medoc, on the banks of the Gironde, and became also the proprietors of two large whisky-distilleries in Scotland.
1893 The business was converted, for family reasons, into a private limited liability company, of which Walter Gilbey, who in the same year was created a baronet, was chairman.
1895 The company began to distill gin and Gilbey's Gin became a well-known brand.
1912 An advertising campaign for Gilbey's Invalid Port made it a household name...
