I found LOTS of bottles...need help identifying! - 9/7/2007 12:59:27 PM    Metalfury   Posts: 70 Joined: 9/7/2007 Status: offline I found a VERY large old dump site. I'm mostly into metal detecting, I was walking along a creek behind a local park and saw LOTS of broken glass and some whole bottles. The pics you see are from about 6 trips there total...at first I was just picking bottle up off the ground and I pretty much got all of those. The past couple of times I've been there I was digging bottles out of the embankment and there's still LOTS of bottles there...so many that I probably havent even scratched the surface of what could possibly be there. I don't know how old this dump is...I was told on a metal detecting board that i belong to that they might be 1920's - 1930's? Sorry for all the pics but like I said, there's LOTS of bottles! As you can see I kinda cleaned some but not all of them yet. I'll DEFINITELY be returning here for more bottles... Attachment (1) < Message edited by Metalfury -- 9/7/2007 1:09:28 PM > Post #: 1

Status: online William Welcome to the forum, you have a very mixed lot of bottles. Whiskeys, soda, food, beer, inks, shoe posish, milks, meds etc. The date you were given is correct. Didn't see any that are worth a great deal, but the site is definately worth digging. I started out looking for Civil War relics and kept finding trash dumps, and eventually started collecting bottles. This site will help with figuring out the different types of bottles, pontil, BIM, ABM, among a multitude of other things. Start with the glossary to understand the terms we use to describe the type bottles we find. There's a lot there just bite off a little at a time. It's the best site for bottle descriptions I've seen. http://www.sha.org/bottle/index.htm (in reply to Metalfury) Post #: 11

RE: I found LOTS of bottles...need help identifying! - 9/7/2007 10:56:44 PM    bottlepoor Posts: 111 Joined: 8/24/2007 Status: offline I started metal detecting first also, found my first bottle in a dry creek bed. Now my passion is glass although I still metal detect when I can but, I find more digging. Keep posting thats why I joined to hear what others find. NICE first dig. Keep digging, keep posting.
