7 rev war musket balls and a SC Dispensary bottle

[gheenoe78]

Greetings. Took the kayak out today around Charleston to a spot that saw some rev war action and looked peculiar on google earth. Ended up with 7 musket balls and a SC dispensary bottle in perfect shape up in the muddy marsh. I've probably found thousands of whiskey bottles but never an in tact dispensary bottle. Im usually happy if I find a shard with part of the dispensary logo. Didnt think Id ever find a whole one. They're pretty collectable in these parts because they've got the palmetto tree and crossed cannons below the logo. This one is called a JoJo flask and the makers mark is EP Jr & Co. Also found some slag lead likely used in the bullet molding process.

One more pic of the bottle...kinda funny when the best finds are without the detector.

The bottle if not cracked or chipped is worth $100+... Great find...
