I was doing some work near Hinson's Island today and after I finished I went and had a look around and found these two nice old bottles laying in the sand....a fully intact Gosling Bros. marble/torpedo bottle and a nice olive oil bottle...both date to the late 1800s

Here is a very crude free blown bottle that I found yesterday. It has an uneven applied lip and a high kick up base with a rough glass pontil mark..it looks to be an old milk bottle from the early1800s, possibly even late 1700s

Some other pieces found recently while looking for old bottles...silver, brass and pewter cutlery from the 1600s and 1700s...westerwald pottery shards from the 1700s, horse teeth, bronze ship spikes and a beautiful seahorse who was cast high ashore after a serious storm and could not make it back to sea.

Here are a few bottles that I found recently in a small Bay near Somerset Bridge...the tall black glass bottle (3 part mould) dates to the 1860s and has some beautiful iridescence and a piece of coral attached, the dark amber bottle dates to the late 1800s and is embossed 'Mulford's Pre-Digested Beef', a small amber medicine bottle and two amber glass bottle tops

Kimberly found this nice old half size rum or wine bottle not too long ago while diving in St. George's, she also found the broken marble bottle which is nicely embossed Albert Inglis, St. George's...the neck was more than likely broken to get the marble out over 125 years ago. Albert Inglis owned a store on Water Street, St. George's as far back as the 1880s and sold  "Aerated Waters and Plain Soda, Lemonade and Ginger Ale in Codd's Patent Globe Stopper Bottles"
