Hi! I'm new to this and have a couple of bottles that I've found in a local waterway that I can't seem to identify. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum! I assume the waterway you're referring to is the famed Gorge, I know a lot of great bottles have been found in there.
The first would have held some sort of small pickle like capers, etc. The second is a liquor bottle which isn't particularly old, probably around the 1930s or so, give or take a decade. Hard to say what it held specifically without any embossing. The third jar looks like it has some sort of protrusion on the neck, not sure what that is without seeing a close-up picture of it. The other two in that photo are an ink (at least I think that's what it is, it's a slightly odd-looking one) and a generic med.

Thank you for you help! And yes the famed Gorge
The protrusion on the neck of the purple bottle is just a barnacle haha.
Ah okay that clears that up, in that case it's just a generic jar of some sort. Without any embossing or unique features it could have held all sorts of things.
