I have a mystery bottle that I'll post soon, as it's a surprise for Mr. Fred!

That looks like a GXIII-39 if it's a pint.. according to McK, glasshouse 'unknown, possibly Bulltown, NJ' and listed as scarce.

Tom and I took a "shortcut", because buying really cool bottles is only topped by digging some on the way home from buying them,..right? Of course the shortcut soon turned to washed out dirt roads,...w/ Tom straddling ruts, as we got lashed with hail and snow![]....Lost or not,...we DID find an ancient farmstead,...well off the beaten path! Very secluded and very diggable...

Great work Cybe!! I took the guy's number, and intend to call him and see if I can paint his house, or mow his grass for the rest of his life or something! In exchange for my new "Holy Grail" bottle! Thank you for researching that...It is indeed a pint.

This place also had a circular stone "silo" foundation, and a HUGE cellar...we found rusted artifacts amongst the hail stones, and some old hobnailed boot soles, but will need to return for bottle exploration....this may have been the privy....not so sure and no digging stuff w/ us!!! (Think we'd know better by now)...under the surface rubble the hole was stone lined and round,...so may be the well too.

I will save the other stuff for another post,....Can't wait to see what secrets this place holds...[]

I'd take the metal detector and run it up and down on both sides of the walls....
maybe at one time the guy or woman went down in the basement and found one of the stones had a gap in it, well he or she stuck some coins and there and covered it in dirt....
You never know...

Spotted on the ride home....We decided this truck would make a great "camper special" for dig outings![]

Thanks everyone for sharing our fun day!
