Thanks Doug and Red. Sorry - I didn't mean to give the impression I also found that yesterday. I actually found that one in the same general area a few years ago and didn't know what it was at the time! Thanks for looking out for me. Ironically, I can't remember the exact area, though I doubt there's several more lying around - though it would be really cool to find more.

Red, as Doug said it's a threadless insulator nicknamed a confederate egg. Some were made in Richmond Va and a cache of them were found there around 1990 or so. I was lucky enough to find that one and I also have another threadless style (LEFFERTS) I found at a yardsale for five bucks.

Doug your river glass looks every bit the same as the sea glass from the bays or oceans. I've found a few of those mallet or whatever huge black glass bases like I did a couple days ago. I wish I knew where the whole ones were resting!

See, I never would have expected river glass to come out looking just like sea glass! I've pulled insulators out of rivers here and you wouldn't even be able to tell they were in a river except that they're wet. [] I guess it all depends on the location, and with sea glass it's really all about the frosting.

I was just in an antique store yesterday found dozens of bottles for sale that have been obviously in water for a long time. Here's what I don't know...how much does water wear decrease a bottle's value?

Do you think there's a point where water worn bottles end up worth the same amount for bottle collectors vs. sea glass collectors...or all around water wear= less worth for bottle collectors, more worth for sea glass collectors?

Doug, those look really good. Maybe I'll bid I have a lot ending soon, I went the bulk route. This was about 3 hours of surf picking, which I have to say is about the most easy going and relaxing activity you can do !

Here's mine
