Beautiful Civil War era Cathedral Pickle bottle

[Woodland Detectors]

We had a blast at the Relic Rescue Civil War dig last week in Culpeper VA. I met some really nice folks, and dug some nice relics. The highlight of the trip was a hut dig wit David Wellingham, where we dug the beautiful Cathedral pickle bottle fully intact. We had a film crew filming which can be seen soon of the recovery. Great hunt!
Thanks for looking!

Nice finds Mike. It was fun as usual hunting with you and everyone else. I have never hunted a site where more buttons were found than bullets. I still can not believe all the buttons that were found and I can't wait to go back. That is one great looking bottle. Now that we have our PIT DIGGING 101 instructions from David I hope we do some more in the future.

Great hunt there Mike. Hard to believe you can find time to get out detecting with the kids..

fun is the most important part....pickle jar is real nice too.....pontiled or no pontil ?? i dont recall ever seeing one with lettering on it before.....nice relics too...

 

[Woodland Detectors]

It's a concave bottom. Doesn't appear to have a broken punt. With the Lettering it's about a 200.00 bottle I have been told.
