I went to my favorite park today and the lawnmowers showed up just as I
started detecting. I decided to go to my sisters house which was built in 1859
and do a little detecting. I got a hand full of clad eight wheats a 1988 Hot wheels
and an old bottle. The bottle cap says "E.R. Durkee & Co. New York" "Trade Mark".
The side of the bottle also says "E.R. Durkee & Co. New York".
The bottom of the bottle says "Bottle Patented" and the patent date seems to say
"April 11, 1817", but I think it actually says April 17, 1877. I don't think the numbers
came out very good when it was made, there is also some kind of diamond shaped
design on the bottom. I was able to take off the cap so I put in the rock tumbler
for a couple of hours and it cleaned up pretty good. Any ideas about the bottle?
