Way cool! I see several cracks running through it and that's a real shame. But you have your photos and it is a pretty neat find. :) Now, is the bottle pointing at anything, like signaling the way to something good?

I think that is very cool! I like the way it is "trapped". It looks very old for sure, Beale.

Very cool bottle. Can you take it out and glue it back together? Perhaps they put it in the column when they built it and when it cracked it exposed the bottle. sweet!

I agree with jester, looks like it was put into a houses foundation and when it was exposed, it cracked because it was removed from it's controlled enviroment. Very nice find there. You could probably remove it and (assuming it breaks) glue it back togeather. Look for more, theres probably a whole lot more somewhere. You could also keep the whole assembly, concrete bottle & all as it's pretty cool like that

This is really cool and I'm glad you took pics! That thing will be covered in kudzo before you know it! I'm also glad I read through everyone's post because eventually you ended up answering my questions: Where were you, what kinda stone structure is that, etc. I don't think I would try removing it... but you did good by documenting it for sure - now go back and keep looking around!

The house I grew up in was an overseeer's house for St. John Paper Company right on the St. Mark's river, and the oldest thing I found around it (when I was a kid, mind you) was a coke bottle from around 1920. Man what I wouldn't give to go back to those days and tell 12-year-old-Ali to buy a metal detector and open her eyes - who knows what was right there?! lol!

So far I've found one very old license plate, a lot of nails, some funky green pennies and other misc. change.. but who's counting? I'm just here to have fun, giggle, and make friends along the way!
