Morning in the muck: Milk Glass, Blobs and more..

[MuckyBottles]

Yes, hit the beach that keeps on giving again, not going to stop until it stops producing...anyhow, hit this morning's outgoing tide...dug a few trenchs, broke my keister doing it, but it was well worth it...

First bottle of the day


Then out pops the CW Laird Perfumer Milk Glass


More trenchs than Ypes...lol (bad pun)


Not bad, quality over quantity

I agree, I'd rather dig quality over quantity...any day.So, what is the deal there at that beach? I assume it was a dump site, but how extent is it, along the entire beach or small trash pits randomly spaced? You sure are getting some goodies in your digs.Nicely done!

These little bottles are getting annoying, almost as bad as Bromo Seltzer's
"Shortstop For Coughs"


The small stuff

Well, in entirety, the entire beach that I hunt is 2 1/2 miles long, yes it was a dump partially, also there was a hotel at that location in the mid 1800's...I try to dig around objects such as the pilings, big rocks etc...figuring that they hold the goods, it seems like when you dig one bottles there is at least two more..

* But the same technique is used when digging privies as well, locate the soil soil change, then dig...in this case, the black soil and ash

I take it you have no competition on that shoreline...Is it your little secret? If so, consider yourself lucky.
