Maine find

[Terphunter]

Went on vacation with the family and i was lucky enough to get in the water with my snorkle gear...great visabilty and almost 70 degrees but the only bottle i found was a Mikes hard lemonaid...[]. I decided to hit some promising spots above the water line and was rewarded with a nice little Pine Spring water bottle from Topsham, Maine. Nothing special but still better to come home with something...my kids found some sea glass as well.

Sea glass is a big deal up there...who knew?? We didnt start looking till the last day of our trip...wish we had before we could have filled a bucket of it. Found some more tooled older items but little dumps in Maine are very rocky places![]....all broken.

great sea glass! When I lived on the ocean I took some of those round bottom ballast bottles and filled them with sea glass. Then I made hangers for them and put them in the windows...

This is only from memory but I think red blue yellow green sea glass sell for good money on ebay....

I also collect beach glass. I fill slick meds up with different color beach glass then I fill the bottle up with water, cork it and put them in the window sill. Natural sunlight shining through the bottle really brings out all the colors of the beach glass. The lamp light in the picture below doesn't do it justice. The bottle in the picture isn't done yet, I still have to add some more beach glass to fill up the neck part. Sometimes though after a while algae will grow in the bottle. I'm thinking of adding small amount of rubbing alcohol or bleach to the bottle to see if this will prevent the growth of algae. I'm going to try it on a 1/2 pint warranted flask next.
