I apologize for all the pics, and several including this one are less than great. I've been trying to learn a ebay bought, used digging camera lately. Momma won't let me take the one I bought for Christmas to play in the dirt.[:(]

Here is one I dug a while ago that was pretty rough, oil worked well for a while but finally broke down and had Shag clean it.. I don't regret it, as it came out great although this picture sucks. Some I don't like cleaned but the color and whittle in this one needed to be seen..Thanks Jason!

Doug, that's a beautiful bottle and one that tumbling surely enhanced. I dug a small aqua OP Harrison's Columbian in March but the lip was chipped pretty bad. I still like it though.

Thanks everyone, I really like the lighter color and there is actually swirls of darker blue throughout..

Dan, its too bad about the little eight sider. I have one that needs a cleaning but may be tough to do.. Included is a picture of a 2" tall variant..It is to this day the cleanest bottle I have ever dug. It was found in a rock pile dump in Maine and looked this good after a rinse and a soft brush.. Wish they all were that easy.

Man Jason,
That one that you had tumbled is one sweet ink! It's got it all - color - crudity and pontil. That's enough to make me want to start another collection (if I could just find a few of them). Really nice!
