Civil War Relics, Bottles, and A First!!! Lots of Photos

[pitdiggers]

Hey Everyone,

Haven't posted in a while been too busy diggin' with MonkeyBoy in some of our spots. Started off diggin' some of our usual bullets including some gardners, three ringers, and an enfield plus some shrapnel. Then after a couple hours I found a first for me.... a spur (confederate position so maybe confederate spur). My son also stumbled upon the torpedo bottle in a creek bed while detecting and it says.. Latham Brothers Burton upon Irwell. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Trying to kill two birds with one stone we hit our bottle spot in that same day on the way home and the pictures will show the results. Some of the better bottles include: a D.J Oconnell Washington D.C My Specialty Oronoco Whiskey, a Watkins, Furst-McNess Company Freeport, Ill. and a Leesburg V.A. coke bottle. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Great finds. I have to admit, when I first started digging old places, I could not care less about bottles. Now I'm getting more and more interested in them. Those torpedo bottles really intrigue me. I gotta get one of them.

That first bottle shown is a real keeper, Now I wonder how it stood up? The rest of your bottles & other finds are real neat as well.

GREAT FINDS!! First torpedo bottle that I have seen. How did they get that darn thing to stand up? It must have set in something.
Well, a beautiful find. And a great civil war selection of finds. have found a few bullets and the such. Always fun to find something that has to do with the history of our land.

Yeah that's a shell frag piece with some of the remaining lead sabot. That is actually a piece of a US Hotchkiss shell. And I am glad everyone enjoyed the finds... we also just finished cleaning the rest of the bottles so there will be more pictures to come.
