My backyard finds...including a sealed jar

[frogginfish]

Went out to do some dirt fishin' in the backyard while the kids were jumping on the trampoline.
Among the junk metal pieces found in my yard, I did manage to dig up a 1997 rabies tag and a small MarMello Painting and Design jar sealed with strange liquid contents at the base of an old tree.
My guess is that maybe it could have been a pet fish that went belly up and was buried.

Moonshine!

Too funny. Maybe the fish died of rabies. Dog tags are always on my want list during a hunt. Take care and make some more digging time!

Thats a fairly modern jar, probably between 40's-60's

what does the liquid taste like?

 

[MuckyBottles]

Don't know, more than likely its water...take a sniff.

 

[frogginfish]

Ooh...I don't want to open it! LOL
It probably stinks pretty bad

 

[MuckyBottles]

Nahh..it's just rainwater seepage. ..you want stinking bottles? Try digging up 140 year old bottles with the full cork still stuck in it....corks don't go out graciously. .lol

 

[frogginfish]

You got me beat, for sure!!

Try emptying some hundred year old mason jars

They can be rough..depending on what they were holding

 

[MuckyBottles]

Anybody care for 130 year old cork?...want some mustard with that?..lol
