Here are the only whole colored pontilled bottles I've ever dug. The unembossed Harrisons was found laying on top of the ground in a crawl space under an 1852 built home which I was working on.
The other four bottles I found with my brother one day. We found them, along with a number of other bottles, in what was apparently a small under the floorboard drop spot in the dirt basement of an abandoned ship captains house. There were remnants of the floor mixed into the dirt where the floor had rotted away. It was only 4 feet long by a foot wide and maybe 8 inches deep. We also got an aqua o.p. Harrisons inkwell which we sold, but kept the colored bottles.
