I went back to a TOC dump I've been digging off and on for about a year. I spent about 2 hrs digging in a location I haven't dug yet...about 30 feet down the creek embankment from where I have been digging in the past. Found a few cool bottles including the bright emerald (?) green one. Not sure what it was used for or how old it is. From what I've found online looks like it might have been used for spices like pepper or something? Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated...how old, used for etc. This is the first bottle I've EVER found in this color...I like it!

The green one is a capers bottle. They're pretty. It's 1900's.

I always call them caper bottles, but they probably held olives. Nice digging!
