RE: First find ever !!!!

30" x 4' x 5' deep stone pit. Think I'm at the bottom, probed solid clay 4' below bottom, probed under walls and felt clay. Newer pit adjacent to this one, will start it soon. Found 4 medicines, 2 whisky slicks and a squat turned beer? looking bottle (picture of the beer in early post). My 9 year old daughter thinks its cool do dig.

Check this out!

Found a flawless, flawless "Schenk's Pulmonic Syrup Philad. A" 8 sided applied lip. Its got some kind of shiny flaky silver stuff all over it. Other than washing I'm going to leave it alone.

That's known as "bottle sickness" and depending on folks preferences, it can be desireable or unwanted, I think it's pretty cool when it looks like this. It comes from the ground water and minerals leaching the silica out of the glass, and degrading the bottle.
