Finally! After 45 years of digging, a pontiled flask!

I finally hit a spot old enough to find some amazing pontiled bottles. I've attached pics of an Eagle with Banner half pint, a Beard's Mineral water, and a Dyotteville Glass Works Cylinder, all dug in Boston, MA. Never give up!

I can't imagine the pockets that were hit and then plowed under during that Big Dig years ago. I saw a picture somewhere years ago of some construction guys in a group and in the background was a frigging sidewall of some huge trench and you could see a pocket 20 or 30 feet thick and it was solid bottles,metal, wagon parts and on and on. Wish I could find that pic and post it.

Great location you found! The diggers of old must have overlooked that place!

It really doesn't get much better than to achieve your goal with a BIG Bag Of Chips! Congrats.

Er, tell me - are there any bodies of water close by...
