also found this older bottle , was swimming in a shallow bay near an old hotel and found it in about 7 feet of water ( was really only bottle I found there ) , clearly visible on the bottom . definitely looks old but has no markings on it

its like a greenish almost olive type colour , might try and take a different picture to show colour changes

British beer bottle. I usually find these in a 1900-1920 context.

also went for another swim at main location but still had visibility issues and wasn't able to find as much as normal . although did find some coca cola , browns , pepsi and NDNR bottles , also found a really large green wine bottle but I didn't think it was that old so left it in recycling

the damaged coca cola is from 1933 if date on bottom is correct

These bottles were used extensively by most large-scale Canadian brewers from the 1890s to the early 1900s.

also this week I found a Tab bottle , not swimming though . was driving thru a wooded area and noticed an odd sign . though it might of been for a dump but sign said it was for a brush dump and that it was now closed . walked thru the wooded area near road and was some garbage here and there . then saw this Tab bottle in some mud , cleaned up well and most of acl there

the label was mostly faded off the Huntsville beverages , although some of the back remained as you can see , found it in the sand using a poking stick
