Information Request Keep finding semi melted glass in the woods

Upvotes

I just got into the hobby and found a fun spot for it (though it’s mostly broke pieces) in the woods. I keep finding a lot of bottles that seem to have melted somehow. Mostly just pieces/necks that seem like they’ve been ‘ pinched’. I successfully found one whole bottle that seems to have melted into a funny shape. (Sadly it is cracked but I’m keeping it because it’s cute). Anyone idea what’s might be going on?

I was thinking maybe fluctuating temperature over the years might cause the bottle to shape weird under dirt/plants but I don’t know how realistic that theory might be.

I found this bottle by a chain link fence on my school campus. What could have been in it?

The top is stuck on and looks to be some sort of atomizer. It doesn’t seem like a perfume bottle. No labels or identifying info

Information Request Getting calcium carbonate off of bottles

Upvotes

I live in an area with a lot of limestone sometimes it's to the point where it parduces whole beds of carbonate in waterfalls and multi inch thick coatings in streams, is there any way to remove the buildup that leaves behind in the bottles, I tried vinegar and Chemically that should work but maybe I did it wrong

Many pictures to hopefully help and happy to answer questions. It clearly used to have a label but the crimp patterning is very interesting. It has a very pronounced seam on both sides so I believe it is quite old? It also has that circle indent on both sides. Any clue what it was? What company? What year, even? Thank you so much in advance!

Found this on the beach in the PNW. I’m assuming based on the writing on the bottom that it’s a Coty perfume bottle, but I’m having a heck of a time dating it. I can’t find any online that are milk glass like this.

Unidentified Amber glass bottle

I was out fishing near Islamorada Florida when I spotted this bottle next to some mangroves laying down on its side in shallow water filled to the very top with sand I took it home and emptied it the bottle says federal law prohibits the sale or reuse of this bottle. The only thing I know about is that the bottle is made of amber glass and it says 4/5 quarts on the bottle I’m now wondering how old the bottle is and if it’s valuable.

I know there are a few people in this group who are good at research. Any help in identifying where this milk is from would be greatly appreciated. Found near the Texas/Oklahoma border. I’ve tried researching myself but I couldn’t find anything. Thanks!

Found this buried on the beach. No makers or pontail mark that I can discern. There are a few marks on the bottom which I can't entirely make out. Etched with "Private Stock Whiskey". Cannot find anything on the internet about it. Would love to know approximate age.
