Went on a dig or exploration this weekend. Found a couple of interesting bottles or should I say pieces. I believe I was digging a old dump from some where around the 1870-1880, problem was the ground water would only allow about 2-3' digging before filling with water. Here is a picture of one. I wish it was in one piece. These are the only pieces I could locate.

Any one have a idea what this might be or what it might have said.

Wow Bottleman!!! I think you nailed it. Now I know what it could have been. All thou the pieces I found are light blue and yours has a tint of green I LIKE IT!!!!

How old is yours Bottleman, that way it will help me date this site. I see yours reads DR. KENNEDY / PRAIRE WEED / What does the third side say?

I would say the bottle dates to around the 1880's. It's actually not mine either. I found the picture on an ebay listing. I think the guy was asking around $40 too for the bottle.

You guys have done so well with the first picture. I will post up a different Picture showing some more finds, but all are just pieces. Why do I only find PIECES!!!!! Where is the complete one at???? The picture will also include some four sided nails that were recovered.
