| Piece of Cup Found This Morning. |
When I first saw it, my mind jumped to Kang'hsi. But as quickly as that hope came to mind, it disappeared. It didn't take long to see that it was not Kang'hsi. For one thing, the paste was too coarse.

Another thing I found this morning was a blown, applied-top, olive green bottle shown below.

Also found was the bottom piece of a torpedo bottle. Too bad it was broken.

The glass is thick and not of consistent thickness. That is why I was drawn to it when I saw it sticking out of the sand.

That was a nice act.
Here is the link to that story.

The video camera I usually use is not working right yet. I was hoping I could fix it. Not yet.
I haven't been out to the beach to detect yet this year. Too many other responsibilities and things to attend to.
The surf prediction chart looks interesting. If that holds, I'll be getting out to the beach for sure.
Happy hunting,
