I decided to do a pre-Easter marsh dig yesterday that began with a perimeter walk to see what the winter turned up. At the very end of my walk, I found a spot with a good amount of exposed glass. It was kind of exposed to a few houses, but I decided to dig a test hole. Well, three hours later, I had an overflowing bucket of bottles! One of the homeowners came out to see me, but he was just curious, and when I gave him a platter I dug, he got excited saying how much his wife would like it. Enjoy the pics! The haul

Nice fruit jar lid
Glass buttons. I don't know how I found these in salt marsh muck!
And lastly a mystery item. It is made of shells and has a glass vial inside. Maybe for smelling salts?
