    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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 found a piece of one in the rocks underneath the Gervais street bridge while I was fishing. Almost all of the Dispensary emblem and lettering intact. That's as close as I've come.

    that's actually in our swamp, old rice marsh, Kershaw's. It's loaded up with old structures. it is bordered by town, but the city limits run around us.

    are you thinking Kirkwood common area? I grew up on Mill, I've fished every small stream, private pond, or mud puddle in town.. or played man hunt through them.

    There is a spot on polo lane more on the toward Green St. end on the polo-field side that has something similar to that...Used to be grown up in vines all around the entrance...a cave/room.

    There's a lot behind it, better pics and info, but I'm in haste

    What and where you're describing match up with the remains of this

    Tell me more about the history of your property. I was invited several times to hunt from Will when we attended Winthrop many years ago.
