    Nice find! As Jim suggested, the bottle is likely to be an English ale bottle from about 1870, I think.

    In 1870, much of Florida was still wilderness. Rivers were the avenues of commerce.
    “A man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library, where he can get it if he wants it.”

    those north Fl rivers could handle traffic our rivers around the Tampa area were too narrow, more like creeks. Thats why I like to dive the N Fl rivers. There have been alot of bottles found in the Suwannee
