The 8 sided bottle says STICK WELL & CO sandchip. My house sits on the original street in town and was one of many built to house workers for the nearby gristmill NHBandit. And yes I have detected my yard and all around our small town quite a bit over the years to find all kinds of relics and treasures tnt-hunter (and am still at it). Mill 2.webp IMG_8646.webp
