Scoping out new site part 2

[SkyPirate]

I took another walk around the new site I mentioned in yesterdays post. I found some promising looking places to detect once the rain and snow stops in a few days. I was poking around under the crawl space of the old house and found this cool 1952 NC license plate in pretty good shape. I found a bottle dump and searched through it and found this whiskey bottle. It had some kind of gooey gunk in the bottom and it took me at least 2 hours to get it out and cleaned up for the photo. It says " The Hayner Distilling Co Distillers" "Dayton Ohio & St. Louis MO" on the front. On the bottom it says "Design Patented Nov 30th 1897" The top had a cork. I can't wait to get out there and do some MDing!

HAYNER DISTILLING CO.

Very, very nice.

If the whiskey bottle has no statement embossed on it about federal law prohibiting its reuse, it either has to be pre-prohibition or produced after 1964. I am thinking it is the former. That and the plate are definitely keepers!
