oops forgot the small clear one is a pride of long island tomato catsup (not ketchup) and a milk glass face cream jar

yea my hands get dirty about 2-3 ft down the mud is black from all the chems and dyes that the manufacturers use to dump in the river way back when i think because of that stuff is why when i find certain stuff (leather shoes,bits of clothing,etc.) they are still in the condition they are the chems preserved them to an extent

bah...what's a little ice and snow to a hard core like you!?

Well George, it has definitely been a fun ride. This has been one of the longest lasting threads that has had people waiting to see what else you may find. I have been digging bottles for 25 years now and love seeing new diggers and their enthusiasm. If there were such a thing as new digger or even digger of the year, my friend you would definitely get my vote. Keep up the great work and I see some great finds in your near future. Hopefully you dig E some unknown Patersons. If you have faith and patience, you will eventually find what you have been looking for. RC
