New Jersey Sea Glass Super Find
Philips Milk Of Magnesia bottle
Where was this photo taken? Date, time of day, and weather conditions?
I found this amazing, in tact Philips Milk Of Magnesia bottle at a secret beach location in New Jersey right after a storm in Spring 2012.
The bottle reads August 21, 1906, Glenbrook, Connecticut.
It was laying high up on the beach amongst trash, driftwood, and large, assorted shells.
What a day!

What were your feelings or impressions when taking this photo?
I was shocked when I walked up to it thinking that it was trash that had washed up.
