I found this bottle in a small dump along some train tracks. I'm pretty sure its wax and it chips off in some places but there is a huge gob of it and im afraid I will chip or crack the bottle if I get knocking at it with a screwdriver. how would I get this stuff off?

If it's wax, you would be able to melt it with a match or warm it to soften in and scrape it off. It could be dry tar which also would burn or soften with heat. Kerosene or WD40 should be a solvent, but it might take a while to clean off the large mass.
