Nice find
I call it a treasure
The bottle in the middle, those shadows showing under the pyramids are clear glass, when the cola was drank down to that level the shadows disapeared. I used to dig that. Just going into my second child hood I suppose
I used to love archeology. T
I sometimes think about the archeologists a thousand years from now. They will dig through our trash dumps and find the plastic coffee stirrers from McDonalds and they will debate about the cultural significance of the change from the ones with the timy spoon shaped depression in the end to a flat end with no spoon. And one genuis will figure out that it was because of Cocaine epidemic. McDonalds had to put a stop to that when they realized their coffee stirrers were being used as cocaine spoons.
They will be able to pinpoint the changes because of the different stratas where the spoons are found.

R.C. Cola and a Moon Pie.
I grew up on a bottle mine sort of speak. Our family property was a lake and was used for landfill from the late 1800's to about 1923.
When the bottle craze hit our area (1970) we began to dig. What we found was amazing. The soil we dug through was mostly rust. We could dig down about four to six feet where we would hit glay, the bottom of the lake. Then we would trench along with screw drivers hoping not to break any glass ocassionally probing the clay for anything that may have been put into the lake before its demize.
That brown Pepsi bottle which belonged to a friend just fetched $160.00 on E-Bay.
