DIG SITE STORY:
This bottle was recovered during a personal hand-dig on my property in southern Indiana, on land tied to old homestead activity dating back to the late 1800s and early 1900s. As time and erosion have moved the soil layers, older glass and relics have surfaced. Each piece is cleaned only lightly on the exterior and kept as found to preserve its history and authenticity.
