A while back I found a milk bottle from the college I just graduated from. The spot was littered with milk bottle shards, but I also found some older pieces. I went back yesterday to look for more, and I found some beautiful shards. I first turned up some pontiled bases, including two olive green pontiled historical flask bases. One was a starburst, the other I'm unsure of. I then started finding pieces of a square or rectangular olive green bottle [:-] Then to my misery I discovered it was a Dr. Towsend's Sarsaparilla. I also found shards of a pontiled Sand's Sarsaparilla some black glass pieces, and shards of an early gin bottle. This was all less than a foot from the surface. I began to think it was not only dug but then flattened with a bulldozer. I found one almost whole bottle, a miniature one with an M in a circle on the front. I also found two ground glass stoppers.
