I know the year is not over but here is the Beginning of my finds for the year, more to follow once I figure out how to get my photos off the phone.
This has been a difficult year for me so I have not had as many opportunities to get out. I will start this thread with some signs found while diving
in the rivers n lakes of New England. These guys should clean up well.

I discovered The Cure for Baldness, a Gay Farm milk bottle and a nice run of color. The color run is an embossed case gin (Hoytema Co ?), a nice apple green Bunker Hill Pickle, amber Scotch Oil, Enosburgh Falls Vt, a nice teal Palmers, a yellowish Buckinghams Whisker Dye, and my first pontil of the year back in January possibly a Willington utility. The Cure for Baldness has a small hole but still nice its from Providence,Rhode Island J M Curtis. Thats it for today I will post more 2017 finds soon plus anything I can find in the last 3 1/2 weeks. Kevin

Very cool finds. Love the "Cure for Baldness." Nostrums and cure-alls are among my fave bottles.

Here is my best find of the year in an area I've gone to on occasion usually not finding anything. On this day I was accompanied by a loon that hang around me. I went out deeper than usual so it was dark and vis was only couple of feet. I saw glass in the sediment, I thought at first it was a slick. Once I felt the embossing I felt for sure it was a G W Stone from Lowell because of its size. I pulled out my wet suit by the neck and put this under my suit for safe keeping still not knowing what I had found. I finished the dive and to my astonishment an A.B.L. MYERS: AM - ROCK ROSE - NEW HAVEN !!
Pretty Happy with this one Thank you Bottle Gods. I will post the cleaned up version again as soon as I figure out my phone.
