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.

Thats a sweet find, gheenoe. I love those eyeball finds-they're rare and memorable.

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