Hello MainMtnDigger, Thanks for showing your bottles. They are all exceptionally nice.examples of great old glass work. I was most impressed with the Sandwich Salt. But the inks are outstanding - What a Hobby!! RED Matthews

oh I'm sorry I read that when I just got back from my third shift job I must have been out of it, i do that some times. Yea none of them where from Bangor north I'm here in the western Mtns and thats where most of them came from.

Nice stuff! I would love to see a movie of a diver finding bottles at the bottom of a lake/ocean/river do you do movies? I know the equipment is probably expensive.

Your right the equipment is expensive but i was able to take a few shots with an underwater camera. This picture is of one spot in a stream that consistently had dump material there and is from one of the many house that dumped in this area. the other picture is of the potery just in the water at another area on the same river.

I had to bunch them together to properly search and they kept getting in the way.

Beautiful bottles, MaineMtDigger! I was wondering the same thing as Rick concerning the diving vids/pics. Looks like a lot of fun and very rewarding. Keep up the great posts!

I think my heart would skip a couple beats if I saw these just laying there, in front of me!

Oops, didn't realize those were the ones you took out of the water. Still pretty incredible, though.
