Is anyone really surprised by this haul?😅

Yep, I was out there again, I can't stay away from the place in the cooler months, it's really quite fun. This material is pretty solidly 1920-1940, not of deep value money wise but we really do find the nice looking ones. I believe those are lipstick tubes. check out that tiny little cutie! It's so little! I literally gasped when I popped it out of the hole I was digging. Nice!! We always break for the tiny ones especially if they're colored. Those graduated dram bottles are common but I love them. Oh, more cobalt this time too, with as much as I've been posting cobalt you'd think it was common place but it's only a recent run of luck finding them, you gotta dig for them usually but it appears someone did some work for us which is frequently the case. Far too much slag and iron detritus to meaningfully detect at the place but there's plenty else to be found. I don't know how many of these we've collected over time but it's gotta be in the hundreds, eventually we'll round them all up for the family photo, maybe sell some but keep the finest for the select private collection. Bottles, bottles and even more bottles, antique to vintage and often the most adorable of the lot! That hubcap looking thing seemed a bit heavy to be a hubcap, if you can tell me what it might actually be that would be great!

New Mexico! We have what is probably one of the larger antique bottle dumps in the country here, if I have the no good finds blues I just pop over there and bask in the old relic heaven. Just walking around there, unearthing old stuff for others to find, looking around the bigger excavations done there and enjoying the nature is really nice. We find much but take only a small fraction of what we find appealing, it's a treasure trove!

I haven't been able to figure out what "minimax" is at least not in the context of dinner wear. There's a lot of broken cups, saucers and less describables with that emblem on them. Reverse image searching finds nothing and manual searching has come up empty handed. Still looking but if anyone knows what that emblem is linked to let me know.

It's vintage dinner wear from the Hilton hotel here from some time back in the mid 1900s lol
