The Great Wilmington Bottle Hoard of 2010 will be burned into my bottle diggin brain for life. I coined the term for the great discovery. It was posted here by the Wilmington Bottle Boys (I think that is right), this was a Tnet user, I think they are still around on Tnet, always posted good stuff. Anyway, they got a lead on a good site from a homeless man, found it, got permission, dug it and holy crap they found a bonanza of good glass. But as usual, the story hit the crapper, people wanted to know what they did for the homeless guy. Well, they gave the homeless guy a fair cut but that was not good enough. The post went south quick and the poster pulled the post, and I dont blame him. It was just an awesome rarely seen hoard of good glass. I know you must remember that one Carl. Think back, you must remember. They pulled hundreds of goods out of the basement of an old medicine/doctor/pharm shop somewhere in Wilmington, a truly rare and thrilling discovery. It was awesome. They set up all the pieces in the driveway and it looked like a forest of bottles, hundreds, I think into the thousand range, many rare nice pieces. Tens of the aqua plain ones similar to the one shown on this thread, all pontiled. A lot of the stuff was pontiled. A few big rare pontiled gallon black glass bottles, truly rare cache not to be seen again any time soon.
