    Ball Perfect Mason Bottle Inside a Metal Thermos-Like Container

    I have found similar. Strangely the man who designed the jar lid that two metal straps clamp to lived in my town when the idea came to him. And because of that I am digging around where his workshop used to be in the 1800s that just happens to be where the police station is today my luck.

    Bottle digging disease.
