Civil War Glass

[metalev4]

I was out in Virginia last weekend for the most recent digging in Virginia hunt. Decided to dedicate the time to looking for deep bottles. After countless test holes I got into a nice little trash pit and ended up with 6 bottles. Two whiskeys went home with good friends. The prize was the yellow bitters, which is full of seed bubbles and in beautiful condition. Inadvertently found a couple of bullets and buttons (they fell out of the side wall while excavating the pit) Anyway it was a great time with many nice relics recovered. Thanks for looking.

Congrats on the glass Evan. I for one know how hard it can be to attain those few precious pieces but after digging with you at past DIVs, I know it's as

much a labor of love for you as it is me! That Bitters looks Great my friend; as hard as we've hit Coles Hill and that surrounding area in the past, I think you fared well

this time 'round.

Nice bottles Evan, we didn't get to dig a deep hole together this time. If I hadn't been digging colonial relics, I would have been right there with you.
