Metal Detecting
Good afternoon everyone!
Yesterday after work I spent a couple hours detecting the early 1900s homesite that I've hunted alot. I didn't get any good metal finds but while digging signals I found a few cool glass pieces. First one found was a broken glass stopper and then a neat old amber poison bottle. The find that got me so excited was the tiny medicine bottle that says Roy N. Chelf Brooksville Florida Prescription Pharmacist. I live just outside of Brooksville and to find something that came from his drug store in the early 1900s is so cool!!

Thanks for looking everyone!

Awesome bottles. I was out detecting a couple years ago and found some old bottles. From then on I've been addicted. If I ain't detecting I'm hunting for bottles. If I ain't hunting for bottles I'm somewhere buying a new bottle for collection.
Thank you!! I completely know what you mean. After I found those 2 bottles, I spent the last hour just digging for more complete bottles lol.

Love old bottles! Nice recoveries!
 

a lot of folks would rather find the poison, but I am a succor for those embossed locals. Keep poking around there and I bet there is at least one more identical one:thumbsup:
You were exactly right villagenut!! This past Wednesday on lunch I was digging and found another almost identical bottle lol!

Great to find a local bottle! I'm still chasing one from my town. Most are from the larger city across the river. There was a local dairy that has bottles but my friend has only found parts of them. Them a neighbor poking around one of his sites found the only whole one 🤬 he's still a little sour about that.. think his parents live next to the dairy site

Thank you so much!! I'm sure you will find one soon! I never thought I would have found one whole lol. Ah man, I can't believe a neighbor found the only whole one so far. That would bug me lol
