This bottle had an aluminum cap that was glued to a cork in the top. I hit the top and broke it off .Update--->
What i thought was cork was paper that was stuffed in the end of the bottle and it looked like cork.
Not glued like i thought.
It looks like the paper inside the bottle was holding the cap and wasn't screwed on tight. half pint 002.webphalf pint 004.webphalf pint 005.webphalf pint 006.webphalf pint 007.webphalf pint 008.webphalf pint 009.webphalf pint 010.webphalf pint 011.webp


The cap say's FRUIT INDUSTRIES LTD

Federal law forbids sale or reuse of this bottle .
The bottom has R-421 and an R in a triangle and 1-6 .

one side has a 180 and the other side has 5 .

The paper in the small neck is damp and past the small neck the paper is larger so the only way i can get it out is break it so i might do it if the bottle hasen't much value.

Hope you are safe. Looking forward to finding out if you break the bottle open or not.
 
Waiting...........................................
Oh nice find also.

I found 11 notes in bottles last year. Bottle is not worth much break it. Maybe it has directions to another buried item or cache ??
 
If you want to try to save the bottle, they try to pull the note out with a pair of tweezers. If you dont care about the bottle, then its Hammer time !

Break that sucker! The suspense is killing us...
 
That's really cool! I would leave it in the bottle if it won't come out, it's a pretty rare find as is.

oh man then you better hide one of these from me if you ever find it while we are hunting! I'd have smashed that thing open soon as it popped up, all while childhood dreams of finding treasure maps flashed before my eyes.
 
Here it is.The bottle i guess is from 1936 as there is a date in this note.
If you get anything from this let us know what you think.
Not far from were i found this was a slaughter and storage place for meat and i think a place they dried the meat.
I find a few cow bones around this place.note in bottle 005.webpnote in bottle 001.webpnote in bottle 003.webpnote in bottle 006.webpnote in bottle 007.webpnote in bottle 002.webpnote in bottle 004.webpnote in bottle 008.webp
