    Default Swamp/woods finds

    Something a little different than the points and pottery. No telling how long this thing hung out in the river swamp. Dates I've seen put this old milk bottle from the 30s or 40s.

    Gotta like that!

    I enjoy digging around old homesites as well.

    Nice. I’ve got a pretty significant bottle collection. Never seen one like that before

    We were combining peanuts near an old home site, and I found a tiny glass bottle. Couldn’t have held more than an ounce. Don’t remember the name on it, but it was from a company that sold toiletries in the late 1800s. Maybe a perfume or cologne?

    Lord I hope it wasn't a bourbon mini, you'd be getting some guys a little moist if you posted a pic.

    I found an empty bottle in the woods once. I carried it out and threw it in the trash can at Amoco.

    Leave it better’n ya found it.

    we have a bunch of old houses on our farm. i've found a myriad of old glass bottles, old tobacco cans, shoes, old wells, there's even an old model b parked by the side of one. i've got more pictures than these two, but that's all i can find right now.

    I have a perfect one of those I found in the middle of a plowed field while looking for arrowheads as a kid. No idea how it survived 50+ years of farming totally unscathed.

    I think a lot of those were medicines and snake oil treatments. They were a dollar a bottle and were supposed to work wonders on wounds or just about anything. Even stains.

    I find a good many blue milk of magnesia mini bottles around old homesites. An SC dispensary bottle would be cool.

    My favorite find so far is an old still on a ridge in the middle of the swamp. Mason jars lined up for the next batch that never got made. Wonder why he never came back.

    He never came back from Copperhead Road.

    The real Copperhead Road is only 20 miles away from my house. They had to change the name because people kept stealing the road sign.

    There's a copperhead road not far from Ft. Kickass. I keep eyeballing it and gauging the risk reward of repatriating some of my tax money.
