Where are they all coming from ? :icon_scratch:

Got a late start this morning :coffee2: met & spoke briefly with a detectorist hunting the low tide coming into shore, then got on my way hunting the wet slope area.

Found this bottle laying in the mud near the shoreline.

This one is a quart bottle; the previous one was just a 1/2 pt.

This one had less barnacles on it , and is embossed : FRANK MOSCA
NEW HAVEN
CONN


REGISTERED

It has a side seam...barely visible, and nos. 4 4 4 on bottom.

Have been researching trying to find info on the Bottling Company :read2:...can't find any info thus far. :dontknow:

Also found a 1953 "wheatie"; other than that, it was a clad kinda morning out there in the beautiful sunshine .

So if you are into blob top bottles...check out these pics..

Thanks for looking

Lorraine

Lorraine, Some nice sand movement up your way. Be sure to capitalize on that. My home court got beat really bad. We pulled gold from the hard pan before the sand started its fast return. From the six to ten feet of sand removed, about two feet has returned.Those that have the Patience get rewarded. Great finds keep them coming,love to see them.

that one looks like it went through a sand blaster..... that area might have an old bottle dump under the surface or very nearby shoreline... tides will move that stuff around too.....hope you find many more.......
