I am new to the forum. Recently I dug a place with lots of common turn of the century bottles and trying to turn the clear ones purple. I made a box and put four 15 watt UV lights in it. These lights look like they were designed for reptile terrariums. After about a month over half the bottles are turning purple, some dark purple but most just lightly purple.
Are there UV better lights to use that work faster and where can I buy them?
Also, I don't understand what it means when someone zaps or nukes a bottle. Is it a strong UV light or something else?
I live in Houston Texas and have a place near Goliad Texas. If anyone is in these parts and wants to hook up I would be interested in going bottle hunting. I also metal detect and hunt arrowheads.
