Well finished another great shed season (deer antlers that is) and along the way I found a few new spots to check out with the bottles. I hit this little surface dump that looked promising...shards of blobs and older stuff mixed in with more modern items. I didn't have too much time but did manage a few cool finds(at least for me a greener ;) ). Found a common Baltimore beer, a cool old emerson bromo, an A.S. Hinds from portland, ME, a unique porcelain cap...not threaded...but from a Thomas Molloy of 60 Court Street in Brooklyn, NY and lastly my favorite find an Edward Weiss medicine looking wine-liquor bottle from Annapolis, MD. Nothing really special but worth the trip home...must go back and dig more and deeper!

First found my best set this winter....KILLER Boone and Crockett set of deer antlers!

Have no idea what this is...but it seems old?

Wow! Thats some buck! Catch a glimpse of him over the winter? Lucky to find both sides. I've only matched up some spikes.

Nice to see someone tramping out there with kids. Keeps things real ya know?

Thanks for showing us your finds! Great day.

sometimes, I think I would rather find the sheds then kill the deer. its a win-win.
the deer gets to live, and I still get the excitement of finding his sheds!

Nothing beats a day of hunting stuff in the woods, except a successful day of the same!

I agree completely! I still deer hunt in the fall...but the past few years i actually enjoy shed hunting more. No worries about time of day, wind direction, scent control, having to carry around a bow and treestand.....
