    A pile of different bottles, an ideas?

    After doing some scouting of a civil war camp that I believe may reveal some relics I came home and saw my neighbor building a new road that butts up to my property. I have owned this land for about 25 years. As I was looking I saw something flash in the sun. As I cleared the dirt away I found a huge pile of bottles. Below are just some of the samples.

    I am not a bottle guy but recognize the DOUBLE COLA, SCOTCH and AUNT JEMIMA bottles. I have no idea on the others. The interesting thing is this area is in a very thick part of my 15 acres of woods and there are mason jars, copper tubing and metal pots everywhere, just under the surface. Can you make moonshine with syrup?

    If anyone can identify the others let me know.

    Later,

    Nice bottles Moonshiine I think was made with a type of still. Look for sifter or filter like objects or maybe even copper coils for distiling.

    The fourth bottle in the top picture may be an old Prell Shampoo bottle, Just my guess though, HH Art...

    Mike,

    nice group of different bottles.

    First photo, far right, looks to be a salad dressing bottle.

    Like Stoney said, go to antique bottle forum, and post individual photos with a short
    description, they will help you I.D. them.

    have a good un.............

    In the academies many books, at the circus many sacks of peanuts, at the club rooms many cigar butts.

    Down here in Florida swamp they used to make shine from sugar cane, which is in most syrups.
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.
