After digging quite a bit I finally found a few bottles that are older, at least I think I did. Most all of the bottles I have been finding have been in the 40's and 50's so to me these were cool. I also added a 60's bottle of Red Panther Toxaphene just because I thought it was neat with the label.Thanks for looking!

Yes in union parish but across the loutre from me around Marion. I live in a house that was built in the early 1900 s, it has a old country store , I have found several silver coins and wheat pennies but not even a single bottle. I am mainly digging ravines and creeks, and house place dumps this one just doesn't seem to have one.
 

Hey LaDigger nice score on them bottles & harry thanks for posting them labels, I always wondered what this bottle was for,has no embossing on it & mine looks more blueish color,money makerf four 010.jpgmoney makerf four 012.jpgmoney makerf four 013.jpgmoney makerf four 011.jpg
 

I believe yours would be the later machine made version when it was cheaper and more efficient for machines and paper labels.
 

Did you find the panther bottle at a old dump? It is very hard for me to find ones like that together. Nice!

No the Panther bottle was found under a old barn on a property I have been hunting. I have the same problem, I have been digging a couple of old city dumps but the acl and label bottles are toasted. I have had some luck lately finding old acl's and labeled bottles by searching under old houses, barns, and sheds. I like the panther bottle and havent really found any info on it. I searched ebay and couldn't find anything similar that had been sold, not sure if it has any value but its pretty cool.

how old is the store. There's a good chance there's a bottle dump and a privy behind it

I am not really sure, I know from an older gentlemen in the area that it was there when he was a child in the 30's. The store closed in the 70's judging by some of the stuff that remained inside. I do not have a probe yet, I know I need one because I have some old home sites that I have permission to hunt. Is there anyone on here who sales them or a place to buy them? Any recommendations for our area as far as how long? Thanks for any help
 

Yeah, I find a lot of small bottles in the dumps. It is hard to find anything big, but I'm fine with the small ones. I think all of the ones in my picture on the bottle forum were found in a dump like that. I can't remember what all I have in there. They are fun to hunt.
