The most expensive bottle I ever personally dug was from a 1850s/1860s creekbank dump next to an old stage stop.

Western blown; early 1860s deep green aqua; embossed on all four sides:

Horse Liniment
Wm. A. Clark
For Man And Beast
S.F. Cal.

Chamfered corners, sunken panels, a beautiful applied ring lip, a "double strike", bubbles throughout the glass.
About an inch away from the Horse Liniment was a black glass beer, with two large old chips out of the base but it still stands up fine.  The last bottles that came out of that dump until I dug it out.  This was 1975-76 over the course of almost a year of digging.
The first bottle out of the bank was a Hall's Sarsaparilla, two inches under the surface of the first swipe.

what constitutes a find? is it a find if you find a killer bottle at a local auction or yard sale? or do you mean that youve dug yourself?

if fleamarkets and antique shops count then ive found a $350 flask for $4 in an antique mall in trussville alabama not too far from me

ok ok ok. i have dug many things worth a great deal of money (not saying they were whole), but i do know there is a picture of me holding a $2500 1830's master cologne. DiggerGeorge might post it if he reads this.

but remember; Somethings only worth what you can get for it.
