Can anyone date this shard? Top- MACL partial A. Bottom- CHEESE. In the oval- TRA. Above cheese- R.C.SD

Found in NJ in what I think is a bottle dump from an 1880's homesite. Property is large, with many trees up to 4+ feet thick. Idk if anyone even knows if this place exists, there is an uncovered well hole that could get you in trouble. Been concentration around the bottle dump/ cellar hole. Found lots of old blue glass with bubbles in it and some interesting pieces with lettering but everything is busted, so far. Found a 1905 IH in the same spot, should clean up nice.


Problem is I went with an impulse detector as my first machine and am digging stupid amounts of nails. It's deff. limiting my productivity at this site, and there is A LOT of ground to cover here.

Looking at a few diff minelabs that may suit this site well.

good luck everyone

There were some bottles with Cheeseborough embossed on them. Someone will chime in.

Cool i'd like to find a whole bottle at this site, we shall see.
 
Here's an eBay listing for a complete one - "MacLaren's Imperial Cheese"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...fe9e548&itemid=260593351127&ff4=263602_263622

Here is a Lovely Antique Milk Glass Covered Jar in Very Good condition! This jar is marked on the bottom "MacLaren's Imperial Cheese" the trademark is 2 crossed paddles, each with one word "Trade" and "Mark" with 2 cow heads facing outwards from the middle of the cross and at the bottom the letters "RGSP". This cheese was manufactured by Alexander Ferguson MacLAREN starting in 1892 in Perth Canada and eventually sold to Kraft in 1920. It measures 2".

Good luck!

Thats it, mine is a little larger but it dates to the same period. Thank you! Man I'd love to dig some bottles out of that spot.... I need to slow my digging so I dont smash anything, though this one was busted when it was found. Any tips for digging bottles?
