Hey Taz...

Nice work on the tumbling job!!  With all the fungus ridden ... coral  encrusted... slime covered... barnacle ridden... clam enhabitted... muscle clogged... mud filled... dirt covered... seaweed attached... bottles I find underwater, I should think about putting together a tumbler...  I thought about it before, but I rarely have the time to do it, workin too much!! Anyway, the only free time I have, I spend it underwater bottle hunting. 

This winter I will be going through the dozens of boxes I have of bottles and I will be making space!  I hve to clear out the shelves and make room, so I will be selling off a lot.  I'll call you and chat with you about it.  I don't want to flood the market and God only knows how many bottles are already out there on Ebay.

I think a lot of people are getting away from Ebay bottle buying... what say you?

Yes I cleaned that ! I got it from Joel seems he couldn't get the ghosty haze out of it. I backed off on the copper gave her a little xtra H20 and it came into it after 3 days of slow speed..... I believe it is a GXI-34 probally made in Virginia... Any idea on value? I thought of putting it out on fleabay..... Taz
