Finally Found A Good One

[deershed]

Found a new area to search,only problem somebody else already searched this spot.
I found an area all dug up with these laying on top.

I did find a few missed bottles.This first one was good except a messed up top.
The Cumberland Brewery Co. Cumberland,Md

I did find this busted Coca Cola.

My next find I spotted glass half buried in the ground.

I carefully dug it out and we had another A.R Frantz bottle.We already had another version of this bottle a local bottle out of Waynesboro,Pa.

Next was the Soda Water,Hagerstown,Md
Only in the field pic was this bottle and the A.R.Frantz bottles together.

I spotted more glass exposed in the dirt.

Just a whiskey.

My next find and probably our BEST bottle yet.


Another half buried one.

Harman & Payne Hagerstown,Md

Just what did I find?Is this bottle a Hutchinson?

Here's all of them,there was a clear plain aqua bottle too.

WTG deershed,

Yes, to it being a Hutch. F.D. Harman seems to have been a player in Hagerstown bottling during the Hutchinson Era. Of the 13 Hutchinsons of Hagerstown, his name is on four. See Ron Fowler's HutchBook.

Even though the place was searched already - you did find some very nice bottles deershed. Thanks for sharing...

 

[deershed]

Now I feel like a bottle collector....Awesome finding that Hutch.

Nice finds, I like the hutch and Surf's history on the hutch. If those are pretty much surface finds, what lies deeper or is it too rocky there? Great pictures too. Cindy

Deershed, just gies to show there are always treasures left behind at "hunted out" places. Congratulations on your Hutch., Anyone can own a Hutch but not everyone can say they found one

We're up in the mountains and it's nothing but rocks.Most our bottles we find are no deeper then a foot down.And most are scattered around usually below the old foundations we find with maybe one small area where the bottles are concentrated.
If we find a concentration it's usually not very much and not very deep.
The good part,after a good heavy rain there's a good chance a few bottles will be exposed.


Thanks bass!! I'm still stoked about finding that hutch.

Looks like a good day... the "in situ" pictures are nice... I still have a flip phone (no pics) and always feel like I jinx myself by bringing a camera so I never get em.

Good stuff.

 

[Diggin-N-Dumps]

Very Cool!!!....I would love to find a spot with Old bottles like that...Looks like you made out!

 

[PikesPeakCharlie]

6inches,8inches,or 5 feet ,I'd be digging there !!!!!!!! Congrats on a sweet hutch !!!

 

[deershed]

I'll be working 12 hour days straight through until Wed.
I'll be back there first thing Thur. morning.

While I was at work the boy made a trip back to this area today.

No more hutches or anything super nice,he did find a whole beer like my busted top beer.

He also found a stoneware piece.

And what looks like an old whiskey and some inks.

I have a couple questions,is this a whiskey?And this and a couple of cork tops the seam doesn't go the whole way up to the top of the bottle.
On the cork tops the neck of the bottles look like the top is lopsided and is not center on the bottles.
Any idea of a time frame on these?

The pic of the smaller cork top it's harder to see the lopsided neck.

There's some good broken glass here so hopefully before we're done with this area we'll have a couple more good bottles.The boy is heading back tomorrow while I'm headed back to work,I'll be back in this area Thursday.
The boy is staying away from the area where the hutch was found.

I grew up in Silver Spring MD, so I'm really envious of all your great MD diggings.
Go Back!
Dig deeper!
Carl

 

[DentonSandy]

I agree with others, go back and dig deeper. Is it possible to go say 6 feet from the spot where all of the bottles were found?

 

[deershed]

Thursday morning I'll be tearing that place up.

I started my day at 7:30 double checking for surface finds then started raking right where the hutch was found.A few hours later my boy Stacy was dropped off then we searched together until 5.No more hutches,no blobs,just more of the same stuff we usually find

Here's some finds from today.

These were found feet from where the hutch was found.

A aqua soda and another Cumberland Beer,both came from immediate area raking.We now have 3 Cumberland beer all slightly different

A few surface finds above where the hutch was found.

Not 10" away another surface find.

This one was in the same immediate area from where the hutch was found.(raking)
