I found these 2 bottle's along with about 30 other different kind's. I have found a sweet spot for bottle's, most of them are broken, but I have found quite a few that are whole. Sorry about my ugly mug in the photo's, my good camera is missing, so I am stuck using the webcam!! :BangHead:

Your square amber was a med that would have had a paper label and looks like it dates to 1900-1920's, nothing in the way of value as there are millions of them out there. The Hoppes was a gun cleaner and would have had a paper label as well, without the label it's worth $1-5, here's a pic with the label and box...

Well at least they are real!! lol Thank you for all your input, I find a lot of bottle's. So far most all that I have found, were on the surface. Soon, I am going back to my spot, and going to do more digging. Havn't found anything with a label, all pretty weathered.
 

Scraping around and digging might turn up some real gems, you never know. The hunt itself is a big part of the enjoyment of the hobby... Good luck, I look forward to seeing what else you find... Jim
 

Thank you again, I love to hunt!! Mostly I look for bottle's because I don't have any access to a metal detector. As soon as I locate some boxes of bottles I packed away, I will put them on here. May be awhile before I go looking again, the weather here is horrible, and the terrain is pretty steep.
