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.

where is the pix of the cave?!
 

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

Good one. Id have been stoked to find a cave like that as a kid😃
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"
