Thanks for the walk down by the COLD river front....[] Look like a neat way to scam some bottles.

Hey Tom,

Don't forget to check the trunk!! Probably some bottles in there! Seriously though awesome pics and story and thanks for sharing!! Wish my last trip to the beach had been even half that productive!! What a cool place and treasure trove you got there! Can't wait to see what your next trips there turn up!! HH Ace

Great story/pics. Thanks.

What's this?

Awesome post!

I too would take a detector there because a good detectorist could discriminate out the iron and focus on the goodies. I scuba dive river spots like this for my glass and I bring it all home, bottles, pipes, coins, jewelery you name it!

David, your item in question looks like a battery core, I find them to be plentiful in New England river bottoms.

I also agree with Redginger on the Mudlarking term, you remind me of the English group of diggers of the same name that belong to a club called Thames and Field, their website is awesome and full of the same stuff except much, much older and from the river Thames in England.

Those guys have a great site, with tons of pics. As riverdiver said, the stuff they find is ancient. If you go there, it looks like they will be having a show on the History Channel on Feb.28. I haven't seen anything else about it, but it will be exciting if they do.

Great Surface Finds... You can just imagine whats under the mud! Just like when me and the late "808 50th State" (Earl) use to walk along the banks or in the water of Pearl Harbor during the minus -4 tide. Nothing like what you've found. Awesome! Keep posting! mahalo!

This looks like the area around Commodore Barry Bridge?

It's a river beach, but close enough to the ocean that it's obviously very tidal. The beach area was 'teens era fill for an industrial area plus whatever floated down the river, now all slowly eroding back into the river.
Anybody remember where we parked?

Rat, Is this what your driving to Baltimore Bottle show in 3 weeks?
