This weeks dive picks

Been working a lot of hours lately, but have managed to get in a few hours diving every other day or so. Didn't bring home loads of stuff, but got some good ones along the way!

The first dive I did on Monday was at a beautiful location, right out of a fishing magazine. I got a few bottles, but from the way it started out, I thought it was going to be the mother load. I put on my mask, and went bottoms up, and when I got to the rivers bottom, I found this one, sparkling clean and mint just laying in between the rocks. It's a round bottomed ginger ale Dow & Co from Boston

Took home 3 good ones from this river, the ginger ale, and this Dr. Flints Quaker Bitters ( with the peened out side panel, which is cool).....

and this old beautiful medicine. Not valuable, but I love it, really crude and nice bright aqua glass. Hinge mold I think. Phelps

I got the next 2 nice local druggists on a dive, after a long long time driving and scoping out, looking for a good dive location, and access. The same stuff I went through for years and years as a woods digger.
this first one looks like milk glass, but it is clear, with a milky contents still inside. Sanderson druggist from Rochester nh, a nice one

The other one is damaged, with some nasty lip chips, but boy its a nice one from Sanford Maine in Amber

This one is the one take home bottle from todays dive, but it's a great jar, a quart Electric Fruit Jar. I dug the pint last fall with Chuck, in shallow woods dump, so it's cool to get the quart.

Thats all for tonight, I have to get back to work ( posting Ebay! ). Happy digging/diving all.

Hey Joe ( where you goin with that probe in your hand - sorry Hendrix joke)

The peened out panel said "Providence RI". It's a big rectangular bottle, the pic makes it looks square. Just Fyi, I went for a dive at a new spot today, and didnt even SEE a bottle! Not every dive goes so well
