Bottle Top Rally Find a Mystery

Bit o'bottle

After a commercial artefact hunting rally, the finder said: "I thought I'd found a bottle top, put it in my pocket and didn't bother looking at it again until later." This is perhaps why it was not handed in until later and he did not do the Gold Dance to inform other rally-goers what he'd found.

This is of course exactly like the type of top of the bottles in which milk used to be delivered in the 1970s. They don't make them like that any more. Well spotted Barrie Placsom for eventually working out the difference.
