Hello All,
 
As promised...here are some pictures of the miniature shaft and globe that I recently dug up.  They are not the greatest shots, but you get the idea.  As you can imagine it took my breath away when I found it!
 
Enjoy!
Chris

Thanks Tim and Jim,

Definitely the highlight of my bottle collection so far and not something I would part with. I am lucky enough to live in a area and on property that was settled in the early 1600's. I have a pancake and several mallets that I have dug in my yard that I am hoping to find the rest of... I now have access to GPR that I am hoping will help me do just that.

SWEET bottle! Digging mallets in your own backyard would be amazing, do you own a lot of land?

Hi Sharon,

No, just 3/4 acre but I live along what was called the Old King's Highway or the main road and all of the orginal English lots were here. The house next door dates to 1649...

Hey Chris,nice pick up,that had to be about the most awesome feeling finding something this old. You say you are a bottle newb is it because of this find? I assume the Dutch were in your neighborhood first not the English. Any evidence found to back that up. You saw the link to my website on the other post you checked in on. http://historical-american-glass.com/new-york-state-early-glass.html The Dutch were making glass for a long time not too far away from your house. I would love to put pictures of your bottle into my website including the dig if you would like.. Let me know if you would want to do that.Thanks for posting this!!
