I need to get back to my roots, don't get me wrong, walking the creeks and peace river for fossils is a blast. I just need some glass back in my diet. All i find is mid 20th century crap..(Im obviously excluding the stuff found off the coasts of Florida)..I've dug three privies..crap...looked under old cracker houses..crap.. where does one go?

Thanks for listening to the rant.. 🤣

Dig deeper.
For myself I have yearning for a nice broken pontil.

Just a few of the many great florida bottles I've collected from the mangrove swamps. It's called bottle tapping....a fiberglass rod in each hand used to probe the swamp for long buried bottles. Not uncommon to find 150-200 year old bottles!!
