For me it was a dream come true,see I have looked shorelines relic hunted alot of places,and worked on the water pretty much all my life,commercial fishing all up and down the east coast.I've seen peices of them I knew they had been around, BUT NEVER FOUND A WHOLE ONE TILL NOW!!! ;D ;D ;D.There it was pretty as a picture washed out of the shoreline laying on a pile of old bricks from the place I had researched.I couldn't beleive it.! 1700 To 1740 circa. black glass English mallet wine bottle.I couldn't beleive I had finally found one no chips,cracks at all!

For me it was a dream come true,see I have looked shorelines relic hunted alot of places,and worked on the water pretty much all my life,commercial fishing all up and down the east coast.I've seen peices of them I knew they had been around, BUT NEVER FOUND A WHOLE ONE TILL NOW!!! ;D ;D ;D.There it was pretty as a picture washed out of the shoreline laying on a pile of old bricks from the place I had researched.I couldn't beleive it.! 1700 To 1740 circa. black glass English mallet wine bottle.I couldn't beleive I had finally found one no chips,cracks at all!
Hey Tneters,Just got back from the maritime museum.Finaly got up with the archaeologist there,he is one of the ones working on the Queen Anns Revenge.He confirmed that it was from the 1740-1750's circa.He also said that it was the only one he had seen come in other then those off the wreck,and from the area I found it, haven't heard of any.

I am checking in again to say "bottle: awesome, Pleistocene mammal teeth: awesome."

The early glass is beautiful, I like in particular the chunky applied and formed lips.

I am really envious of all of the teeth you get to find.
Thanks plehbah,The teeth are neat.Just can't handle them much,after they begin to dry they tend to want to start flaking up fall apart.
