Found my second Indian of the season and my oldest dated coin (found a roached large cent) it looks to be 1892 but may be 93 or 98 either way in finally in the 1800s club!!! The glass was found in the river the color jumped out at me as well as the design. What could this have been and is it as old as I think/hope it is??? Thanks for looking and commenting.

The green glass looks like the bottom of a cup or goblet. The broken off edges are rounded nicely so I would say it's been there for a while. Nice hunt and congrats on the 1800s club! I will join the club one of these days!

The glass is very thick and I thought a glass too but the color and thickness have me thinking 1700s. Maybe just wishful thinking I don't know.

Definitely not from the 1700's. However, it could be a glass/goblet from the 1800's.
Just a suggestion, drop your machine snd pick up a shovel, are there any more bottle frags near where you found the green frags? If so you may be standing on s bottle dump. Just a suggestion. .
