My best 4 digs ( all time )

[downeastdigger]

Hi, nice forum you got going here. I saw Wayne, a fellow Maine digger posting a message and it got me wantin to post. Plus I'm headin out to dig Sunday, and want some good luck
I'm going to try to my very best prize digs. I dont know if the pictures will come through since it's my first try, we'll see. These bottles represent years of digging, like everyone else, most digs come back with very common bottles, some shards, and odds and ends, or nothing at all. I really just enjoy the hunt, and getting dirty, and digging through history. Plus the off chance that a real gem shows up!
Happy digging. I'll post after I dig on Sunday ( if I get any good permissions ).

Hope I can add a good one to my collection soon, I've been on a digging dry spell. Gotta make more time to dig. As a friend of mine says "Get busy diggin, or get busy dieing"

Is that glass colorless on the Stocker's? That in itself would be odd to me.

It is not "flint glass " clear, but when you look at it, it looks clear. When you look through the edge of the base, it is very pale aqua.

I dug it out of a river bank that was drained. I dug small shards from 2 others !

Hi downeastdigger and Welcome to Antique-Bottles.Net -
I've seen you around on some online venues before or at least someone w/ this name.

Beautiful stuff you have there!!! Thanks for sharing and keep 'em coming.

The best of luck to you on your digs.

Very nice finds. I like the Stoddard Jar. I bet you found most of those in NH, right?

It's funny how those flasks stopped at the border. Just opiate laced plain bottles in Portland.....and the occasional pontiled amber N.Woods. []

Well maybe someday.
