History:
We own some property in Flatonia, Texas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatonia,_Texas) and find all sorts of neat old stuff on it all the time. I was walking a dry creek bed one day and saw what looked like a little handle laying in the sand. I went to pick it up and it turned out to be connected to an entire jug burried there for who knows how long.
Long Description and Pictures (jpg, gif, png):
It is completely intact save for a section of the top that has chipped off. It appears to be very old. A considerable number of other items have been found near the location I discovered this jug, most of them of Native American origin (arrow heads, arrow sharpeners, and even a very old rock wall on the river bank said to have been built by indians). Could this jug be that old? I am not a historian or an expert on this sort of thing whatsoever. Can anyone help me?
