Wow, It's hard to compete with a bunch of these finds... I had to make a real hard decision on this one since most of my bottle digging has been done this year! [:mad:]. I had to choose three out of the lot x.x . My #1 : Nothin' beats a big pair of jugs! ;). Never forget that crazy cellar hole my cousin (Glassgopher721) and I found! #2 : My first Hutch. All the more neat because I had just seen a post from E-package showing off his collection of NJ hutches, and then I found one myself! :) #3 : My First Big case gin. Found among a ton of rocks after finding several broken ones in the same area x.x Looking forward to this year and all of the crazy adventures that come with it =) Best of luck to you all this year!

I got out twice last year so don't have anything to show. Starting to post other bottles I've found in the past though since I never got around to it.

Another best find from 2013 was this 1768 bible, its in rough shape but I found it laying in the dirt long after the end of an estate sale when I went back with my truck to pick up some big stuff I'd bought.

Nice form about 8" tall. Great color. Smooth base.

It was a good year for me! Lots of digging, and plenty of good buys too. Some of the "bests" were: Best new RI bottles, a Parker's Vegetable Bitters Cranston, RI

Also a Pierce & Co. Indian Liniment Providence
