Awesome finds man. I think all the little other things help make bottle digging a great hobby!

Great stuff Rick. You should find someone who casts jewelry at home and have them make a mold and cast up some of the larger lady brooch in silver. Bet my right thumb they would sell big time. If you do make sure you pay for the mold and take it home with ya.

Thanks Cobaltbot ,yes i get a kick out of the smalls especially when not finding any good glass .Capsoda thanks that is an excellent idea ,but i do not know of any nearby ,maybe i will have to search net a little .If you would be interested in doing that or know some one who would i can send it you and all i want is original back and maybe a little discount on purchasing a cast piece .

Digs, next time we get together ask me about that piece of rail you have. I can fill you in on it quite a bit. What I don't know I know somebody that will.
