Earlier this week I was detecting along the tidal river near my house and noticed a couple bottles in the mud during low tide. I picked up a couple bottles and made the decision to go back there today with a decent digging tool. Well, back I went and I spent a couple hours there this morning digging into the bank. Found several decent bottles but not sure of the age...except for one.
I'm thinking late 1800s to the early 1900s. The green decorated bottle had "GILT EDGE DRESSING" embossed on the side and "May 18, 1890" on the bottom, stamped twice. There is also an "EMPIRE LINIMENT" bottle and a tiny "SEELY" bottle. Is this a good dump and are these bottle collectible? Any idea what the long slender bottle would have held? Thanks for looking.
