Still have a 40 x 10 area to go thru. Saw a bitters bottle fragment and the area dates back to a settled area from the early 1700's so hoping there are some early bottles. Found my only onion bottle not far from the site.
Went out with my metal detector for a bit on Sunday. After a bit of a walk to the area along the river it got a signal that sounded good. Dug it up and it was a spoon but in the dirt was a small med bottle. Since I was planning on probing around I just started turning the dirt. 5 hrs later I was...
I hope someone can help figure it out. The folks at Coke inAtlanta have no clue. Sent it to them. Possible it's a mold test bottle. Whatever it is I think it's cool.
Found 3 early sodas at the river dump I found in Charleston,SC. I know the middle is a straight sided coke but need help with the other 2. The bottle on the left is different. It says Chas.Co.Coca Cola.Botle.Co. Thoughts?
Found these a few hours ago. Never heard of the 3-C cola but says property of Coca Cola bottling co. Charleston,SC. Nice straight sided coke and a Caro-cola. Any thoughts on the 3-C?
Made it back to the site after work today and brought 4 home. 3 large sauce jars and a E.R. Durkee & co. Dressing. All came out very clean. Found a broken Germania beer co of Charleston. Heartbreaker...I'll get pics up Sunday after my return trip.
Just water. They are straight out of the"puff mud" as we call if. I went back to the site last Sunday. A lot more bottles came home. I had more tha I could carry out. My fav on Sunday was this 1904 AB beer. Great embossed eagle and A.
Thoughts on age? There are hundreds of bottle along this marsh in Charleston and I found a broken straight sided coke and a bunch of torpedo bottles but all are broken and no embossing. It's a muddy messy endeavor so wondering if it's worth digging.
