Happy New Year!

Yesterday I was fortunate to end the year with a fun outing and a few interesting bottles. I could not resist the opportunity to check out the clearing of this old sugar mill site. It was a beautiful, peaceful morning.

I love this pic. Reminds me of some old Roman ruins.

Found lots of shard along this creek earlier this year. No whole bottles this time.

Found this cool bottle partly exposed. Quite amazed it survived the equipment.

Any thoughts on it would be great. Where is it from etc?

Found a little pocket with a few bottles but most were slicks and commons scattered around. Really hard to pick and dig with all this construction work. everything is tossed and turned and pushed and smashed! [:(]
