bottles

Can anyone Identify this bottle? It has a number 28 at the very bottom as well as "No Refill" as well as some dots written along the bottom rim. Cool bottle just curious what beverage it once contained. Thanks all ;)

I was recommended by another member to post in here! I just got some amazing permissions to bottle hunt last weekend, and permission to go back as I want to. A 52 room hotel (that had a sewage system), the foundations of a doctors house and boarding house, and the remains of several old store...

Going through stuff to put in yard sale. I can’t even remember where i got the bottles. They look like they were dug, but I didn’t dig them. The mason jars were my grandfathers. I only grabbed 1 box of 8 when the house was getting cleaned out. I’ve given a bunch away as gifts, but probably...

Had an exhausting yet fun time digging today. Here are some of the keepers: Finds include: 1. Valentine's Meat Juice 2. Plum Bros. Boardwalk Atlantic City (BIM made by W. T. Co.) 3. Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey For Coughs and Colds (BIM) 4. Ball Perfect Mason 5. Burnett's Standard Flavoring...

These are all finds from a dig I conducted on May 17th 2023. Highlights include Seipp's 2 1/2% Beer (1917-1919), a tooled Jacob Rupert's Beer (1910-1913), Scott's Emulsion, Coli-Actine, Major's Cement, Burnett's Flavoring Extracts, and a Flushing Mineral Water.

These are all finds that I made last evening at the 1924-capped landfill. From left to right: 1. Sharp & Dohme Baltimore Lapactic Pill bottle (hexagonal amber) "prescribed for chronic constipation and atomic dyspepsia". 2. Small Bromo Seltzer. 3. Syrup of Hypophosphites "Fellows" tonic bottle...

1. "North Beach Height F Frankel Bottling Co." (Bottle made by the Boley Manufacturing Co.,1898-1911) 2. "Bachmann - Bechtel Brewing Co. S.I. N.Y." (1907-1911) 3. "Jacob Oertel 151 Flushing Ave. Astoria L.I."

Went back to the 1910-capped clay pit bottle dump that I have been extensively excavating since January. It is very difficult digging but the trade off is the bottles often come out in great condition. In about two hours of digging I recovered three blob-top beer bottles, one tooled lip med, and...

Got out today during a strong wind storm. The wind and waves washed away all the silt and exposed many old bottles to the surface. Here are some of today's finds: S. Liebman's Sons Brewing Co. Christian Wagners Sons: Obermeyer and Liebmann's Minck Bros. & Co. (8oz): Minck Bros &...

Excavated all these bottles on Feb. 16. 1. Dark-green bottle, no markings. (Turn-molded) 2. Piel Bro's - East New York Brewery 3. New York Bottling Company Inc. 4. Leonard Eppig Brewing Co., Brooklyn NY 5. Welz & Zerweck High Ground Brewery, Brooklyn NY 6. Canada Dry (Machine Made)

This guy was sitting about an inch under a fork I dug today. I thought for sure the neck was going to be busted as I was pulling it out by the base... get lucky from time to time. "Gilbert Bros. & Co." "Baltimore, MD."Help From what I can find, Gilbert Brothers & Co. was a medicine company...

Hi, I'm new here! I'm a house historian/preservationist by trade and a major history nerd. I was just given my first detector as a gift, as I've been talking about wanting one...I've been into hunting bottles and other relics for some time now, I'm mostly interested in the detector as a way to...

Show us your top 3 dug bottles! I know some people on this forum have dug some crazy rare + cool stuff, and I'd love to see everyone's personal favorites. It's hard to choose, but my best 3 are probably my R. B. Webster squat porter and ale, my Charles and Co whiskey, and my John A Darlington...

I got sent home from campus due to coronavirus, but the weather hasn't been ideal for digging until yesterday. The wait was totally worth it, because after two hours I pulled up this! The neck showed first, so when I pulled it out of the dirt I thought it was a broken blob because it was so...

Was wandering some trails near me.. on an old farm property that is now crown land. Looks like someone has been busy detecting and digging!!!! They have failed however to fill their holes..sadly.. but maybe they are not done!

I try to avoid buying bottles, as I'm running out of space as is. However, I found all of these for 3 or 4 bucks each at a local antique market. At that price, I couldn't pass. I dig up plenty of S. Liebmann Sons bottles(along with a few Obermeyer and Liebmann's), but never their older blob...

Hi everyone. I figured as an introduction I'd post some of the best finds from my most recent dig. I've been working in a massive dump all summer. Unfortunately, the project has been put on hiatus due to college, but I hope to get back in there later this month. These bottles the best ones from...

Hey everyone! I just joined Treasurenet, and figured as a first post I would show you guys some of what I find, and enjoy hunting for. Fossils are my main thing, but I am into finding any sort of treasure! I also put videos together of my hunts and will definitely be sharing some with y'all...

Hi Fellow hunters, I'm looking for a decent bottle hunting spot around Philadelphia. They don't even need to produce whole bottles, I can use the glasses for an art project i'm working on. The old colored bottles are really neat so that's what i'm after. Anyone know a spot and want a hunting...

So i found my first actual bottle dump today, which is apparently pretty hard in the North Texas area. Now I didn't find anything beyond belief but i found a few bottles I thought were neat including (most of) a Dr. Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup, some bottles which I believe could be perfume...

Hello - Can someone help me determine a value for these? I would like to sale them. I have six embossed with different city names. One 6 1/2 oz from Amarillo, TX. Six 18 oz embossed with city names. about 5 six packs of Olympics, college teams, Christmas from 1990 - 1998 Thanks for the...

Anyone know what these are? I think they are whiskey bottle, and i think they are orginal, I've looked up Wheaton NJ horse bottles and they don't look anything like the fake. DES PAT'D is marked on the bottom Value? Thanks

Loads of clad, second and third silver coins, first couple of bottles, and "i'm in". Went out yesterday and finally got around to cleaning my finds. Had a hayday in the clad deptartment. Found over 10$ in clad and a 1953 washington, a 1962 rosie, and three wheat pennies. Also found a 1949...

This type of thread has probably been posted before, but I haven't seen anything along these lines for a while. Post a picture of your tiniest bottles!! Here are my smallest, an adorable cold cream jar I picked up at an estate sale and a little cutex bottle with a quarter for size comparison.

I have this bottle and do not know the history but it is unlike any other bottle I have seen. It has a wavy-bumpy texture and wavy seems that ends at the base of lip and then 90 degrees it reapears on the lip further towards the top and mouth seems to be for a cork. Thick base and emerald green...

I bought these three bottle today for a total of $23. I think I got a pretty good deal lol. The two smaller ones are pontiled and the green wine(?) isn't but it has a beautiful lip and is wittled and crude. I don't really know anything about any of them so any information would be greatly...

The woods that I found these in have been ridiculously thick with autumn olive for at least 30 years I'm guessing, so it's not likely that many people have ventured through lately, and it's even more unlikely that someone decided to stop and have a drink there. These are probably fairly old, but...

All bottles were found in the woods, which have been taken over by Autumn Olive. It's not likely that anyone has walked through in 30 years because it has grown so thick, so I'm almost positive that none of these are remakes. Bottle #1: Coca-Cola bottle - Front side says "Coca-Cola", back just...

I recently found a dump but the drive is a little much. It is in Central NY and I am upstate. I am willing to exchange info for something a little closer to Saratoga/Schenectady/Albany County. Found lots of nice finds in the dump I currently go to...Milks, poisons, blobs, you name it...

If You're In Brooklyn/Manhattan You Might Have Bottles In Your Yard! Im mike (chinchillaman1 on youtube) Im a bottle digger / collector. I made this post to inform those living in or around the 5 boroughs of new york that you may potentially have a bunch of bottles buried in your yard! In the...

I found these back around when we first moved into the house. I found them back in the small woods behind out house. You can see what one is and I think the other is just a plain old drink bottle. The area where I found them that being the small forest has been there for a long time according to...

OK, Relic Hunters, are you tired of searching the same old ground that everybody has been searching since the first detectorist used a Korean War surplus mine detector in the 1950's to present and the finds are scarce as hen's teeth? It's winter time and it's too damn cold to be swinging a...

Well when i was a kid behind my dads house was a corn field then woods. At the beginning of this wood line was an old dump and we would dig for bottles and just milk jugs and coke bottles and what nots, but now that I am older and realize there is value with some of the stuff we found I am not...

i have a top secret source in ar. that was previously a cotton gin circa 1890's - 1920's i have found some apothecary bottle fragments there but that is all. any idea what i might find or what you have found in these type sites? help will be much appreciated.

I got a copper penny signal in my backyard (Which is from the 1800s). I dug down a little and found an oil lamp. I dug some more and found dishes, and bottles. I kept digging in that spot and found a total of 4 oil lamps, a chamber pot, 4 buckets of broken glass and broken dishes, a brass barrel...

Hello from San Francisco, CA. I'm only 19, but have been finding treasures since I was about 5. It started out with finding obsidian flakes in the Sierras, then escalated to arrowheads :) My late grandfather was mildly obsessed with Native American culture and collected baskets and arrowheads...

I'm not sure if this would be the right place to put this, but my grandparents have two sealed bottles of Dom perignon, one is 1976 I'm pretty sure, and the other is around 1983-1986. They have always been kept in a cabinet in the basement where the temperature is consistently roughly 55° give...

I'm pretty new to bottle digging and this website as well. I'm from New Hampshire and Vermont, but I recently found a small bottle dump and I've slowly been digging it in my free time. I've found lots of medicine, ink, and whiskey bottles, and canning jars. A lot of common bottles but a few good...
