My other interest is LI pottery...mostly redware. Take care, _____________________________ ChrisP Bottle Newb Marine Biologist/Diver (in reply to NYCFlasks) Post #: 3

Now, your ringing a bell with me, when you mentioned the redware and diving.  Could it be something with Cooperative Extension? _____________________________ SAYVILLE BOTTLES WANTED !!!!!!

He collects pontil sodas and inks. Unfortunately he is an old timer and does not believe in computers and has since moved to Delaware because of the high cost of living. He still is a big time collector of New York Sodas and I love when he goes to visit he always brings me back bagels and conolies, Yummm...... _____________________________ Looking for Delaware bottles.

RE: Any Long Island collectors out there? - 5/12/2012 9:37:11 PM    NYCFlasks Posts: 401 Joined: 9/11/2005 Status: offline Have dug for 40 years, and finding privies out on LI can be tricky, as they were shallow wood liners for the most part. Be sure that the current lot is original, that it has not been split over the years.  You might do better with the trash pits which were typical for LI.  Best areas to probe, in a band starting 4 to 6 feet from the rear property line and going  back to the rear property line.  Stick it every step,  you should hit something, it will feel soft and crunchy, once you hit one, you will never forget the feeling. _____________________________ SAYVILLE BOTTLES WANTED !!!!!!

I've never dug one before, but remember stumbling upon bottles a few times in wooded areas on the island. They were right on top of the ground ! I wasnt really interested at the time .Most of those kind of spots are real hard to fid these days.In the late 60's & 70's it wasnt uncommon to find them on the surface like that.The last spot like that i found was in Massapequa in the early 90's in a little patch of woods loaded with 1850's - 1900 beautiful embossed bottles & i just left them there, they built a park there right on top of them ! I really just got the "bug" a couple a years ago & just itching to do some digging .Some of those embossed medicine & poison bottles are really neat.I sure wish i could get you to come to this location & help. Oh well ,a probing i will go ! Thanks again NYCFlask for the tips...I'll keep you posted on how i make out. (in reply to NYCFlasks) Post #: 14
