Go to Radioshack and get yourself a Bounty Hunter metal detector.... they are under $200 and are great for finding dumps, coins, buttons, and other relics....
I came across a clear bottle with Vapo-Cresolene Co on it. It has little points on two sides. It also has PATDUSJUL1797ENGJUL2394 on it. I have no pics. Any guesses? Thanks Cindi
it is listed as a poison in several books.. it was actually a vapor inhailent that was poured into a cup or tray that sat above a candle. the flame heated the tray and released a medical vapor to clear the head and lungs.
