awesome find

Nice find! As Jim suggested, the bottle is likely to be an English ale bottle from about 1870, I think.

In 1870, much of Florida was still wilderness. Rivers were the avenues of commerce.

those north Fl rivers could handle traffic our rivers around the Tampa area were too narrow, more like creeks. Thats why I like to dive the N Fl rivers. There have been alot of bottles found in the Suwannee
