Epic Civil War dig, bottles, buttons and a coin

[smokeythecat]

And a craft project. I was digging a trash area, it didn't look like much at first, but as I started just scraping the ground, I found broken glass, then more broken glass, and then some more. The Deus sniffed out a small piece, and I do mean SMALL piece of camp lead from the site, and the first picture is one of the broken bottle I hope to put back together. It's shown laying with some brown glass from a similar bottle. I'm not going to clean it too much. I'll try gorilla glue or such, I hope I have it all. Next to, nearby and underneath it were two INTACT CW bottles and two inks, with a little lip damage. I will post as I can. Also will show the buttons, bullets, coin, etc as I get this mess organized. Here's the broken one and some extra glass: After it stops SNOWING I'll get the bottle set out on the little rail I have outside for a nice group pic.

Thanks VTcolonial digger. It is in pretty good shape with little pitting. I haven't put anything on it, and it looks like it may stay "red". Those Andre's pencils do work.

Very nice collection. That store that begins with Dollar Tr$$ sells a four pack of tube glue that bonds in 4 seconds. For a dollar it's perfect for replacing pieces. Side note,the individual tubes are black in color.

Thanks rook 3434, I'll look into it. Even if this broken one doesn't work out there will be more.
