Found this tonight in an odd spot on the creek that I believe was a well or dump. Bottle in question is the bottom left one. This was also my first time finding a complete aqua colored, blown in a mold bottle.

I’m finding stuff online that says mid to late 1800s. Anyone have input?

Cool! I found a picture of one with the “Hair Vigor” wrapping on it that matched the bottle as well

It is. I actually meant Ayers Hair Vigor nor Sarsaparilla. Here is a labeled one, circa 1890s

Going back today with an actual shovel! I just had my hand tools with me last night. The ground is all iron ore gravel. I did some research and I believe this area was a dump up until the 40s
Sounds like you've got some potential there--happy digging!

Thank you! Looking forward to it. Gonna talk to the business owner who is in front of it, to see if I could use their back drive instead of hiking down the creek

The cologne/perfume at the top left of your photo looks like it might be pre-1900 as well. Maybe post a close-up of the neck showing the seam?
