NC Joe hits the bottle and we couldn't stop him!!!

Enjoy the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF0VJ53K2II

NC Joe uncovered a bottle dump next to an old outbuilding at the Colonial property yesterday. He had a signal that turned out to be a tiny metal bottle. As he dug that up there was one glass bottle after another in the hole that was less than 2 feet in diameter.
He ended up with the tiny metal one, 16 glass bottles, one glass tube, and a glass dropper!!!
I did my best to clean them up today, and here are the results.
Joe, My wife said to have you come over and clean up the kitchen sink now. :tongue3: ;D :wink:
Most look like medicine bottles with measurements on them. Some of the names on the bottles are:
Foley & Co. - Chicago , Owens , & Lyric.

Can anyone ID any of these of give us an idea of the ages?
The seams travel up over the lip on the bottles.
Thanks for looking & "CONGRATS JOE" on a super honey hole! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Nice video Doug, you guys sure kick butt over there, If it ain't old indian heads, it's old buttons & now a cache of bottles.


Very, very cool guys!

THAT IS A SUPER GROUP OF BOTTLES YOU FOUND. SUPER VIDO. :thumbsup:
 

Re: NC Joe hits the bottle and we couldn't stop him!!!

Wow you did a great job cleaning those up! It was a great way to end the day, pulling bottle after bottle. It's a shame there were as many broken bottles as there were keepers.

Thanks for the great day of detecting and "farthing" around :thumbsup:

I hope the owner likes them and has a place for them in the old house.

Oh, here's the picture of the perfume case/vial

You're very funny girl. After being married as long as I have, I'm a MASTER at doing dishes. Oh yeah, I've cleaned out many a bottle too. :tongue3: :occasion14:
Don't think for one minute that I don't wear the dress pants in the family. They are her pants, but I wear them. :o ;D :wink:

Thanks VOL.
Water, dish soap, and aquarium gravel did the trick on the insides of the bottles. Oh yeah, a LOT of shaking too. :tongue3:
