This is what the stream looked like before the rain. Looking upstream from the remains of the old dam. Most of the view would have been under a mill pond for much of the 19th century. In modern times the brook is usually 3 times the size shown here. Drought and beaver dropped the stream enough enough to expose new bottles.
After I extracted the bottles laying exposed in the stream, I looked along the shore. I found a bunch of jars and beverage bottles in the shore mud exposed by past floods.
I also probed the stream bank with my shovel.
This tumbled out in like my third scoop.
More to come, maybe after kids go to bed.
