I went back a few days ago to the "honey hole" I found the bottles dating 1870 ish to around 1900 back in December. Not wanting to really detect that day, I opted to redig the hole, hoping I had missed something. I had.

The first little bottle on the left is probably on opium bottle, ca 1880. The second bottle has a nice finished pontil scar and hand finished neck, so probably a perfume bottle ca 1870. The third bottle is kind of odd. It has a twist lock kind of closure, so maybe for cold cream or something like that which doesn't have to have an air tight seal. if you have seen a bottle like this one, please let me know on dating it. It was toward the top of the ground, so it is ca 1900? The last one is a Bixby Ink ca 1883. Thanks for looking.
Also happiness is being friends with the landowner. He kindly filled the hole for me!
And yes, this is Miss Buff on a leash. ![IMG_2744.JPG IMG_2744.JPG](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1729/1729503-4f0630141246e51b6e1f05bec9cef4a3.jpg)
And don't tell anyone this is the FOURTH time I had dug in this hole. The glass is now very, very scattered, not at all like in the beginning.
