RE: still trying - 8/24/2008 7:43:56 PM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Rhona, that hires is not a common color and it is not aqua as someone said. Its a light ice or cornflower blue. Ive seen them but never dug one, hundreds of aqua ones. Ive seen the ones like yours sell for about 20-30 bucks.

That is one thing that I like about this hobby, is the different variations even in the bottles that are common in some areas.  The hires is not too common here.  I'm getting out and doing a little digging.  Good luck on your next dig. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
