had originally found this lot a couple years ago and have found alot of stuff on it since . decided to go back but with my metal detector to see if i could find anything else and sure enough it didn't take long to start finding metal cans and even a few no deposit bottles too.

found - Canada dry , Wink , Diet Pepsi , Coca cola , 7 up diet , orange crush , carlton club cola , ginger ale , Charlies ( wilson's toronto ) Cream Soda , cavalier cola , a larger beer can ?

also found a Labatt 50 beer cap , still has alot of colour

no deposit bottles found were Sprite , coca cola , mountain dew ( lip is chipped ) and clear

gave some of the better cans a quick cleaning

Charlie's Cream soda seems to be only one i've never seen or found before , found the odd charlies can here but were cola / ginger ale , never seen this flavour but its really rusted despite having alot of colour not sure it can be bent back into shape without destroying can

Odd that Charlies is a 1970's can like the rest but still used a flat top instead of pull tab?

appears they still used a flat top can into the late 60's early 70's , some of the store brands did that here too

Flat tops lasted surprisingly late here in Canada for some of the smaller/supermarket brands, I'm pretty sure I've seen a flat top with a bar code before.

The Charlie's looks like it'd clean up pretty well with an acid soak, I probably wouldn't try to undo the dent myself but you should at least be able to get most if not all of the paint back.

That's also weird to see a Newcastle Brown Ale can in Canada, I didn't know we were getting those imported back in those days. Is it a flat top or pull tab?

Newcastle was commonly sold in the USA, Not sure about Canada, does it say export anywhere on it?
