The first of two Pacific Soda Works bottles. This one is a bit rough. I have since upgraded, but have both bottles.

This one is a bit of a mystery for me. The finish has some swirls (for lack of a better term). Could this be caused by sediment, or is it manmade damage?

Welcome MF I like that wolf Hutch,or is that a bear.
You said it, digging beats buying any day. I guess I will buy when I can't dig any longer. I dig for the high. Buying bottles just dosen't get me there.[:D] rick

[;)] Hello And welcome to ABN. the swirls are called ground etching, and are caused by the minerals in the layers of sediment or waters the bottle was buried in or under water the acids and minerals kinda bit into the glass surface a bit, some people will tumble these bottles, thus erasing this etching, and the originallity of the bottle if tumbled for too long a period........
