    Bottles

    So, last week I push my shovel into the dirt for a nice target and hear glass breaking. I went right through the middle of a beautiful cork bottle. I got to thinking how rare unbroken bottles are. These are my bottles from over the years. Thanks!

    You have a nice collection of old bottles, Drew! Aren't they beautiful? I love the ones that turn purple due to manganese in the glass. The aqua colored ones are great also.

    very nice Drew ,I started out digging bottles before i started detecting when I first moved out to New England . I do occasionally find them as well detecting I also like the "sun baked amethyst " bottles and the cobalt blue types .
