It is almost certainly a champagne bottle. If it is hand-tooled, it might be late 1800s to early 1900s. If there is no evidence of hand-tooling, is is even later. Here's what early champagne bottle look like.

I was thinking the same thing, But what if you didn't find it in a hole & you found it in the Water, Do you throw it back? LEON.

You guys have been awesome, I appreciate the information about the last bottle I posted. Any idea on this one? I have found probably about a half a dozen of these. Quite heavy and solid. So it’s really no surprise they survived being at the bottom of the ocean/river for so long.

My thoughts are some sort of wine bottle. One of them even had a portion of the cork still inside.

My best guess from the shape and deep punt says "champagne". Th applied strap top and slight bevel at the lip says late 19th or early 20th C..
They have great value if you have the wit to see it.
Using old bottles for target practice because you lack the imagination to appreciate a 100+ year old artifacts should find another hobby.
