Amazing bottle finds

[diggyboy]

Me and metaldetecta went to an early 1900s house today and dug an old buckle and a button that looks gold plated. We hit the bottle dump next to the house after detecting and tore it up on old bottles! We dug a milk jar sealed on January 11th 1914, a Atlas strong shoulder mason jar, 2 old Clorox jugs, and an old Nesbitts cola bottle from the late 20's to early 30's. We will get better cameras tomorrow and should have some live videos up soon. Check out our video to see everything we found. Thanks for looking and HH!

...an old Nesbitts cola bottle from the late 20's to early 30's...

Hello diggy,

The Nesbitt's was an Orange soda. They didn't start bottling until 1938. There's an excellent history of the company, here: Nesbitt's Orange Facts

Your square milk bottle is late Forties. "Square milk bottles became popular after World War II, in the late 1940's. These are the milk bottles that many people remember from when they were kids. There were earlier square milk bottles, such as the Nightingale (patented in 1898) and the Blake-Hart (patented in 1927), but they were not common. Square milk bottles had an advantage of being able to ship more milk in less space. The cases were one third smaller and 20 percent lighter. Usually three cases of square milk bottles would fit in the space taken up by two cases of round bottles." Introduction to Milk Bottles
