[MuckyBottles]

Come on now, do you actually think I am that lucky? April Fools.

I did however get out and do a pre-mega hunt warm-up that's coming up Saturday (house built in 1712, 50 acres never been hunted) Hit a local park I will refer to as "Emeline" In "Bricktown", while it wasn't overly spectacular, I did bag some pretty cool stuff....Including this sunrise..
"Sunrise on the Hudson"


Found a few war nicks two 1943-P's and a 1944-P (...zapped! Electricity and water makes me happy!)



A few wheaties..1909-P (non-VDB), 1917-P, 1919-P, 1920-P, 1925-P and a 1929-P (...zapped as well)


Really cool Aluminum token Called "Shell's Famous Facts and Faces" This one was John Paul Jones..



...Yes there was a few bottles as well...
A lil'Mini Bayer Asprin Bottle, Date unknown



Unmarked Amber Medicinal?



Lastly, a "Bear Mountain Spring-Palisades Park Commission Bottle" No info what-so-ever on this bottle..


Total haul -Bottles (Couldn't fit)


Bring on the rain!

Very nice finds, love the 'Bear Mountain Spring' Bottle!

I found some info about it and this pic of a 'clear' bottle.

It's spring water from the Bear Mountain Spring, bottled at The Bear Mountain Inn. If you're from the NYC suburbs, you've probably been to (or heard of) this area. Its bottled by the Palisades Park Commission, the agency which manages the majority of the parks in this area.

A big thanks for that, I do live in the area, just couldn't find any info on it. Clear, interesting. Mine has some sort of aqua/green color to it (pre-clean)

BTW, being in the Hudson Valley, have you ever found a bottle from a pharmaceutical company called Bell-Ans? They were based in Orangeburg.

Its a wonderful but filthy hobby, especially slopping in the muck and mess that is the Hudson River, the dirt and smell never leave your clothing. I have a set of of clothing just for digging bottles.

I sure You know I was Joking back about $650 bottle... I love digging them also. when I was young I had dug hundreds but I was Young and sold them for cheep to local dealers for Cig. money... Even the Reproductions are worth money now days as they havent been reproduced in years.
