Found an Awesome Clay Bottle and a few Coins

[nkellam22]

I started the day next to an old creek near my house. I didn't find anything there but I did spot a bottle in the water. The only way to retrieve the bottle was to get wet. The creek was about a foot and a half deep and I was wet for the rest of the day but it was worth it. It turned out to be a bottle of Steinhäger. A German-made type of gin in a massive clay bottle.
They are only allowed to be legally produced in the German city of Steinhagen and started production in 1766. I don't know how old it is exactly as the company seemed to make the exact same bottle for a very long time so any Info is welcome.



After finding the bottle I moved a few hundred meters down the creek to a new area. I managed to dig a few things.
A fired musket ball
A couple of whatsits
Lead curtain weight with the number 2 on it
Bag seal
A Belgian 1 centime 1832-1914
And a Dutch 1 cent from 1827


Thanks for looking and Good Luck
