Just awesome.

After the pontil jar I found the other day I was chomping at the bit to get back down to the ink hole. After removing some good sized boulders and broken mill stones I was in business. I have never had this much luck before finding pontil era bottles even though most are slicks and damaged. I did manage a couple embossed ones. A oppodledoc liquid any one know what that is? And a very whittled a Richards Co glue cement. I also found a nice Florida water this is the only large sized one I have ever found with an applied lip. All and all it was an awesome dig. Thanks for looking and the help- Justin

Wow!!!! I would love to get into something that old. Love the pontils. I hope you are checking with your detector. Or screening too!!!. I have had excellent luck checking after it rains in my old bottle digs!! HH

That's a nice spot you have there Justin. Great to have a chance at the pontiled stuff.

[emoji106] Wow what a great spot for digging. The sky is the limit in this area. Sorry about the broken ones. The Florida Water is neat. What size is it?

 

[Goldenplug]

So much potential. Cool stuff.

I just got from doing a little more digging with not much luck but o found some really interesting shards. Any ideas on the lip? It looks like an early case him. Then the pontil piece I have no clue.

 

[RelicDude]

Thanks everyone I couldn't be happier. And bass the Florida water is nine inches tall.

 

[bottlehunterofcoscob]

I'd say definitely a case gin and the pontiled piece looks sorta like a perfume or something

 

[villagenut]

That would have been a killer bottle if whole,but them case gins must have bulls eyes on them for they are not small bottles and I would think they are hard to find unbroken. More to follow, I am sure

Very cool finds! Congratulations. Thank you for sharing them with us!

That's what I was thinking . The pontil piece could be a perfume or a fancy cologne . The embossed parts remind me of an old claw foot bath tub.

Holy smokes...

You had a really great dig! These are all so beautiful. I think that last 12 sided slick is my favourite though.

Awesome.
