So the sidekick Kato collects ANYTHING that may have historic value,
this includes glass that she comes across while detecting.

She has some little bottles and then some which are more historic.

She has no idea what the bottle is worth or if they are rare being glass.

The dirty one with the broken top is made by or contained stuff made by -

JP NICHOLSON MURRAY BRIDGE

Which isnt that far from the site she found it on, only 80k's, but the interesting thing is the history of the site.
It is land owned by us for some time, a house block of good size, but previously is was part of a large
Estate called Tranmere House and this block is next to what used to be the Coach House.
I have found some rubbish dumps/piles while building on our block.

Some Trove research has discovered that JP had a business in Murray Bridge that sold mineral water, ginger beer,
cordial and wood early 1913 - 1930's.
There is even a pic of him bowling.
He is the one with his foot over the front edge of the mat as he bowls.

Eventually you end up with a few bottles though(new and old ). :D
so best to just keep the full unchipped ones, still gotta go through ours one day to see just what's worth keeping, otherwise you just end up with too much to store.
