I consider this my best dug bottle because it was the last one out of the pit at the very bottom standing upright against the wall like someone set it there. It has a hole. I was going to not bring it home and at the last minute i did. It turns to be pretty much unique and at least 20 years older than the 1850's pontil era context.

I have 2 favorites, my ultimate best is this Dr. Swett's Panacea Exeter, NH recovered from a river bottom while scuba diving back in 1993. Next up is this mint Harrison's Columbian INK in sapphire blue with a vertical birdswing right behind the embossing, this too was a river diving recovery made this year.
