Not bad for a $1. Any value on the Geyser Springs Saratoga Bottle? Swizzle Attachment (1) (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 2

There is a little rust around the lip that "the works" will take care of. As far as I can tell there are no chips, cracks or scratches on it. $75, This was indeed the best dig I've had in quite a while. I hope the rest of my year goes this way. Thanx for the research, Swizzle I forgot to mention that the lincoln bank bottle was actually bought at a yard sale for a dollar about 20 minutes before I started digging. That's my second one so far. Swizzle < Message edited by swizzle -- 5/10/2007 9:59:43 PM > (in reply to slcholt) Post #: 7

If I am looking at the right one, I show it as $160.00 (in that color), and that was a few years ago. Bill _____________________________ Michigan drugstore bottles/dose glasses, jugs, etc...

He's my little treasure hunter. In the one pic above you can see the open bubble above the RA in SARATOGA. Glad you liked the video. I was gonna save it and add a couple more decent bottles from various digs. I just couldn't resist posting it though. Swizzle (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 13

RE: Yesterday at the ol' farm dump - 5/13/2007 8:29:50 AM    swizzle   Posts: 1325 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline Thanx Warren. I just hate this dump. It looks like a bunch of bucket dumpings. They bring out a bucket of trash and dump it in a spot and then next time dump in another place. This is at least the 4th "pocket" of bottles that I cleared right out. I dug all around, behind and below this spot for 2 feet in all directions and haven't found anything more then a few shards and a cow jaw bone. I'm gonna go back and dig deeper though and try it again sometime this week. Skeeters are starting to come out so I'm gonna have to fog the area and then come back with my son 15 to 20 minutes later. Between the bug dope and the fogger we should be good for an hour or 2. Swizzle (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 15
