hi, just wanted to say welcome to the forum. those bottles are pretty nice i live in bath maine and have been digging for about 15 years. It is pretty cool when you find the bottles laying right on top of the dirt. i have been always on the look out at construction sites but have not had much luck. I have dug alot of nice bottles around here in maine though. But i never dug a skull poison not even a piece of one. Very nice find !!!

Hey John, welcome to the forum, yahoo anotha Mainah! Not to brag, but there seems to be a LOT of forum members from MAINE.
Where are you located in the area? I think that's the first skull posion I've heard about being found locally. I know of a development just getting under way on Saco street (Westbrook) out towards the industrial park. It's behind a nice old 1840s brick estate that I know has a dump out behind it which they likely will be uncovering. Right now they're taking out the trees, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for the escavation of the roadway to start any day now. Maybe we could get out there to look around. Welcome Again.
