That's a cool looking bottle Rock.Sort of looks like a cross between a pumpkin seed and a heart. [] I like it

Super Dangerous huh? This is gonna be your theme song Rock.-----

There's a man who leads a life of danger.
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.
With every move he makes, another chance he takes.
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.

Thanks Joe. A lot of these jars resemble the type of glass used in early Japanese fishing floats.

This pic shows the color separation but kind a washed out by the sun.

Thanks PD!

Hey Jim thanks. A lot of the Japanese aqua glass comes our really good around here.

Howzit Nate, yeah bamboo is a good locator for early civilization but a mother to probe and dig through. The main markers for me are mango, avocado, banana and bamboo. All these plants have large seed or have to be planted/dumped by man. The seeds can't be carried by bird so you know human activity was near by.

In 1792 Captain Vancouver brought and planted mango seeds.[]

Howzit Brad!
when was your last dig out Big Island? we've been digging this cave on and off. My friend got a nice serrao a few years back in this hole.

Mostly teens stuff. A few nice oriental meds now and then. Perfect age for that ever elusive "Busy Corner" druggist bottle..[]

I need to winch one of the cars out of the way to safely dig more. The earthquake shifted the car about two feet. Still got a nice layer down under.

I was in Hilo the last weekend in January for a couple days of digging. My Kona friend got permission to dig a guys yard in an old part of Hilo and we hit a couple of decent pits.

I ended up pulling a really crude black glass gin, one of the small ones. No sodes for me on that trip, but my Kona buddy got an Excelsior. Common, but a hutch is a hutch!!!

Hope to be back soon, but in the mean time I'm keeping busy digging out here on the mainland.

Aloha! Brad

Dude, nice dig rocky!

I have dug a few "bottle mine" caves in my time and they are lots of fun. If you have a working understanding of applied physics you can do so safely, and dang it is a good time i tells ya! [] As a young kid i would build/excavate wide networks of tunnels in the snow piles created by the plowing of the church parking lot behind my house. Some years blessed with heavy snowfall i could create "2-story" tunnels, with vertical shafts connecting them. Good times. []

Dunno if you have a harbor freight outlet around you but i saw a coupon which would get ya a 2000 lb capacity winch for 50 bucks. Get a generator and a few winches back there and you could rip those junk cars right outa the wall. Have a feeling that you already have that equipment though. If you do, and have the desire to use those tools, please keep us posted.

Hey, Tony ~ good to see you're out digging again & great post. Those little jars are really nice, the colours are fantastic.

Knew I had a sort of similar shaped little bottle & here it is.
But it ain't nearly as nice as yours & it ain't got any squiggly writing on it ~ dang !

 

[bostaurus]

those jars are beautiful. Love all the bubbles.
any more news on the fight to stop them from fencing off large areas of the island and taking out the pigs?
