Hello all! I, myself, havent found much of anything as im new to the hobby of bottle digging. But I wanted to start a new thread showing your best (or worst) crier/hearbreaker of 2010. Pictures of all your heartbreakers will be greatly appreciated!

I got a nice olive green pontil Masonic flask, but it is in 5 pieces. I am starting to tear up just thinking about it.

Don't have a picture of mine but my biggest upset of 2010 was a local mineral water that's very very scarce to come by even broken. Iron pontiled, a beautiful sapphire blue and embossed 10 sided Catell's Superior Mineral Waters Salem, N.J. and tapered lip. Dated to the 1850s it is worth well over $800 whole.

My most recent dump yeilded one of these; the lip broken off. I was upset, and had no idea of the dollar value at the time. I carelessly dropped it where it landed on a rock and shattered it. To this day it haunts me to think of what could've been.

This was the early tall style Bixby shoe polish in emerald green. I had never seen one of these in anything close to this color until a friend in our bottle club gave it to me last winter. I didn`t dig it, but my heart races when I think that if there was one made, there`s got to be another one out there somewhere!
I did dig some great pieces a month or two ago which I posted, but Bixbys are still my favorite, and I know that there is one of these out there waiting for me!

This is what it would have looked like whole. I couldn`t resist showing this blue one off!
