Dig with Meech - 1/6/2007 7:38:38 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Meech and I hit a hole today and did okay. I found a whiskey and a broken hutch along with a local crown top and a local druggist. I also found my first coin. A 1897 quarter. If you think taking pictures of bottles is tough try a coin. I took probably 10 pics of it and not a one come out that great. Now's when I need a macro setting on this cheap camera!

RE: Dig with Meech - 1/6/2007 9:30:10 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline That old junk is a great flea market item. The nice looking badly damage enamel ware makes great garden pieces and flower pots. I'll check the insulators when i clean the stuff up. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Brains) Post #: 3

I was going to suggest an idea that may solve your macro problem. If you take a pic of the coin (or other small item) from a distance instead of trying to do a close up you can then use photo editing software to blow the picture up and crop it. It always seems to work for me when I'm having trouble with small items... it may work for you as well? Keep at it, you're off to a good start for the year!

You always seem to come up with killer stuff! Here's a pic of the local Crown Top. I'm trading it to my brother for a Marion Jar! Sweet!

Been reading the posts for a few weeks and have really enjoyed. I've been digging and collecting for around 40 years. It's great to have a site as great as this one to share and receive info on finds. I got a digital camera and maybe I can get some photos posted. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 9

RE: Dig with Meech - 1/7/2007 9:58:48 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Thanks Buster, And all I can say is woohooooo new blood means new pics we haven't seen. I can't wait! Rona, I'd put between $5 and $10 on pieces like these to beused in the garden or as flower pots. The ones in good shape are way to pricey to do that with. If they're in oddball colors like red or green I'd even try and squeeze a few more dollars out of them. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 11

RE: Dig with Meech - 1/8/2007 12:50:30 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Zane, I use a digital camera at work and attach photos to e-mails.  I'm just not sure of how to attach the photo to the post.  Any help would be appreciated.  How about a photo of the Straight Sided Macon Coco Cola with the backward "N" for starters? _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Dig with Meech - 1/8/2007 12:53:06 PM    towhead Posts: 909 Joined: 12/31/2004 Status: offline Welcome Buster!    As for posting pix, after you have transferred it to your computer, make sure they are 200 kb or smaller (Right click the pic you want to use and select properties to see the size-resize if nec).  Then, when you go to write a new post or post reply, check the box that says embed picture in post and then select the click here to upload, find the pic you want to use (wherever you saved it)  ....and you should be in business!  Hope this helps! _____________________________ J (in reply to logueb) Post #: 14

Here's some photos from my visit. First is a look at the couple of bottles that 'made it'. A hutch, which we don't dig too many here in Va., aqua embossed: S.J. SHIPLEY / WHEELING / W. VA. (blown). Then a machine made soda, embossed in slug: THE IRON BREW in arc over BOTTLING WORKS over D.J. PHILLIPS over PROP. and in reverse arc WHEELING, W. VA. After removing the mud it exposed GAY-OLA on the rear shoulder and base.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
