Found a place with some history and decided to scout it out. Found where the old blacksmith shop had been, old horse shoes and nails and other iron items strewn about. Was told that in the early 1800's it was actually the center of town with a Church, School and general store all within a few hunded foot area of the blacksmith shop. I got owners permission to detect it all and was told nobody has ever detected on it. Located the church cornerstone but can't make out the engraving they carved into it. Found this old bottle while scouting around. no markings other than the number 51 on the bottom. My guess is it's either an old pharmacy bottle or an ink bottle. Any idea of what it really is and approximate age? Info would help me estimate the time period of activity at this location.
