broken hopes

i made a post on garden finds awhile back on the 50 ale bottles i found,today i went to the other side of the lot to scratch around a little about 2 feet down.i found.. some old chards of bottles that dates to late 1800s.only dug a couple hours,but have hopes of finding more whole bottles i may be breaking some of them myself.have to take a different approach to my digging

Not that I post pictures, but some folks on here could give you some tips on posting/taking them. It does suck to find awesome bottles BROKEN!!!!! Sad story for many of us diggers...

the base of a bitters bottle marked s. mckee & co.

I believe that is a Hostetters bitters, could be anywhere from 1875 to 1890, I believe that is the range of the S. Mckee glassworks bottles with that mark on the base

andy thanks,you were right. all i had to go on was the base and enough side with the 2 ters's.the broken platter dates around the same time period.according to bottle manufactures marks the broken aqua coffin whiskey flask marked K.Y.G.Co. is a rare find, can someone confirm this even though broke i am just curious.
