Someday I'll get out of these fifties but until then I'll probably keep picking them up. If it was up to me I would probably stay in a creek bottom or hole all the time. I can't get enough. I just ordered a metal detector and my wife is praying I don't get any worse lol.

If no one answered you. That first metal thing you posted is a "shutter stop" it holds a window shutter from blowing open.

You do need to not let yourself be too addicted. Too many people run their family and financial life into the ground due to this hobby. You should hold the hobby, not let the hobby hold you.

You know I remember when I first started you said that to me I was wondering why did he say that but you are right. I think about bottles all the time and I can tell my wife doesn't have the passion. So I try to work around the bust life and not let this obsess me. Thanks for the concern

Hard, not be obsessed with the hunt, it's gold fever, really, the passion for new glass, gets in your blood! I've seen the same thing happen, with native American relic, Civil War relic diggers, who would ,risk financial hardship, risk life and limb and their freedom, to take very risky endeavors for a very little gain. Keep digging and be careful.
