Here's up close of some bottle pieces.
Lots of clear glass.
Even a few purple pieces. We read about these - they are from pre-1930 glass that had manganese as a component of the glass. When the glass is exposed to the sun, it turns purple. Cool.
Probably the coolest of all is a bottle piece that we can read the letters "Johnsons Guara and A.B. Gira" - we looked it up online and found that it's from a bottle of Johnsons "Chill Tonic" and was marketed around 1886.

That is so cool - we always search for flint up here along the lake shore - some of it is pretty tumbled by the surf (wind created) too - evidence of Native American camps on what is now the lake bed - the Man-Cub has a few already shaped into arrowheads - flint is not a local stone...
