I researched the area yesterday and decided to explore it today. I found a huge TOC dump exactly where I thought it was. Its another rock dump, but there were definitely survivors! Here are the finds:

Wow that soda! Looks like a late throw compared to the other stuff. Was there anything else in the layer of similar age?

There was part of a pontilled Kennedy's. The house that dumped here was built in the 1700s so there has to be other good pontilled stuff somewhere.

It has part of a letter on one of the shards. I think it was one of these...

it does look similar to the bottle that sold for $3000 , the colour and features seem to match , do you know if it was a unique design and colour ? or did any other bottlers use it too ? or was it just used by geo eagle ?

if it was a unique design and only used by geo eagle it almost has to be the same bottle
