Frozen buried treasure

Two weeks ago hubby retrieved a bottle buried in a bank by the shore.
He washed it and left it full of water.
We have had several days of cold weather and hard frost.
The ice has obviously expanded and shattered to bottle. Now interesting to see how long it stays in this form.

What a shame, but makes for a great photo opportunity.

FAV I hope it wasn’t a valuable bottle. I love the way you captured this with the broken bits all around it. Can’t wait to hear how long it lasts. Personally, I hope it melts right away which means the weather is warming up again.

@robz @bigmxx @kwind @30pics4jackiesdiamond @johnfalconer @marlboromaam @pdulis @pusspup @swchappell @grammyn @kametty thank you all for your comments. We think that the bottle is relatively modern da fizzy pop bottle that probably had a screw lid.
