Hit the beach that keeps on giving, while my dumba-- broke two torpedo's...I did dig 4 ink bottles total, including a stone ink and a Caw's ink. Nailed a Bunker Hill Pickle Co. bottle, dollar bottles, Ironstone bowl and cup and a Dublin pipe No. 1 pipe bowl...now the tide will do its work naturally sifting the till and I'll head back tomorrow to pick up the goods...

*Skilton & Foote...Bunker Hill Pickle Co. Circa 1890...

Gotta respect the bottles, anything glass that's been sitting in the ground for 100 years..deserves it.

I use pitchfork for three reasons, one is because it gets deeper than the shovels, mind you I'm digging in pretty much a giant privy. Two, it does less damage to a bottle vs the blunt force trauma of a shovel. Three, I can use it as a pseudo probe to poke around in unseen areas.

I also use a three pronged claw to pull out the till before I start digging again..
