was bored this afternoon so I went for a short bike ride down the road I live on , about 5 minutes away is a large creek and steep embankment along the roadway . so I went down to poke around , didn't find any old cans but did find a modern beer can/bottle and coca cola no deposit bottle .
saw something aqua coloured poking thru the dirt , figured it had to be a bottle so went over and pulled it out . and was a aqua coloured corked bottle , broken on two sides but still stands up , no maker marks or anything on it
any ideas on age ? it looks early , much older than bottles I have been finding recently , I also found piece of 1 other aqua bottle nearby and parts of what appears to be old plates ? didn't have my digging tools or camera at the time so will have to go back another day and explore further .
I checked an old map and was a farm nearby but on other side of road , its long gone now , just pine trees and modern houses on that lot , but wondering if maybe they dumped some stuff down the creek embankment
