Old bottle, no old coins ☹️

1890s Carlo Erba Milano medicine bottle. Found in a cave in these cliffs.

It was a pretty cool cave, had a door and wood burning pizza/bread oven.
The only coins I found were spendables.

I'll guess where the stacked rocks in the first pic are.
What does the bottle have embossed on the side of it?

There were quite a few on these cliffs. Some are burial chambers though and a few still have bones in them. The burial chambers are mostly protected and you can end up with a pretty hefty fine if caught entering them. We went by some caves that my Italian friend Enzo said some mafia guys were hiding from the carabineiri. The carabineiri came with a helicopter and start shooting at the cave.

😕 I'll write that one down. "Never go detecting in Sicily"
