My brother and I went down to the river by our house today. We have found literally thousands of bottles along the shore and we have it pretty cleaned out. We figured that the winter would have revealed some new bottles and we were right! It started slow with a lot of brokens bottles, but as we worked our way down we started to find more! My best find was a blue peptenzyme bottle! My brothers best find was two trilobyte fossils in a huge rock with some "bone" fossils sticking out...we are gonna go back down and take pictures of the big one tomorrow to find out what the bones are.... All in all it was a great day to get outside and hunt with my brother!
This was a piece of the rock that had come off and uncovered the trilobytes! It fits back perfectly into the big rock!

Good stuff. I like the trilobyte fossil and the milk bottle. Looking forward to the pics of the "bone rock". Your lucky to have a place to hunt so close to home. Thanks for sharing!
 
Good hunt! I love the blue bottle.
 
The wife would love the blue bottle. She has thing for them for some reason. Great finds.
 
Is there anything special about the rock in the last picture, the one with the void in it? I found one just like it once but left it because I figured it was from years and years of water dripping or something like that.

Some may be nutting stones but I believe most are omars (omarolluk). I think a lot has to do with the context it was found in.
