    That's a welders hammer to remove the slag from the welds.

      Our pleasure! This was just an OK spot.....wish the bottles were older.....but it may be good for a few marbles in the future. Looks about the right age for a few nice ones. I doubt those bottles are worth much...maybe like 4 or 5 dollars a piece. But they are kind of cool for free. This just proves anyone can do this...all I did was par my truck...walk 50 yards down a road to the river....and found all this stuff in 20 mins.

      You know the best is just use acid. Digger Dave does a bottle cleaning video called cleaning bottles the digger dave way or something like that. if you have bottles that look real bad he is the guy to ask how to get them looking new. I just dig bottles for videos when I am slow on other stuff on finds. I am no expert......not on bottles. I am sure there are much better and easier ways to do this and I watched that video Digger dave did......if you care about the bottles you will want to clean them right for display......
