NB&CO, cap off, scrubbed up, what is it? - 10/10/2004 2:22:42 AM    wm   Posts: 6 Joined: 10/6/2004 Status: offline I came across this bottle in a river. So it was encrusted in organic material. I decided after a little research and much deliberation to soak it in dishsoap and water, then I hit it up with a brush. To my suprise the cap seemed a little loose. I became a little worried because I knew there was something in it, but I figured if it wasn't corked the contents were probably in the soaking bucket already and i still had my hands [ha ha] Anyway after researching the last couple of days [this bottle is the reason I just purchased my first computer and first digital camera, I figured it is worth it, I know, it's 2004] I've decided I've really got something here. Now I would be grateful to you guys for giving me your expert opinions. It was discovered near the location of an old union [civil war] camp. Am i close? Anyway it's a beautiful site isn't it? It might be for sale!!!! Let me hear from you. I'm listening. wm note: it isn't leaking and it's about 6 inches tall Picture reduced in size - please see Help - Using the Forum ---> Uploading a Picture - Admin Attachment (1) < Message edited by wm -- 10/11/2004 3:42:47 PM > Post #: 1

Someone else may be able to tell you what it contains(ed).Still a nice bottle,will look good backlit. KAT (in reply to wm) Post #: 2
