Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024
Oh yeah! These old tooled large logo Ruppert bottles predate Yankee Stadium, the Ruppert bottles with the smaller circular logo on the top would have been the kind served in Yankee Stadium in its early days. I once found one of these newer Ruppert bottles from the 1920's sitting in a crevice in...- UnderMiner

Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024
All in the ocean on the edge of land where people likely went swimming, fishing and such. The bottles were likely on land originally but erosion washed them down into the water where they got burried in the mud all next to eachother in an area about 5 feet across.

Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

All the bottles were in the same area so I think it was the same person drinking them and stashing them, but they never came back to cash their deposits. Bottles include: 1.

Portholes From a Shipwreck
These are some old pictures from when I first found it, I have since cleaned it up: I found it in the garbage one cold snowy Feburary morning in 2015. It's a non commissioned staff officer's sword from the Union Army. The blade is German imported made in the 1850's. I am very persistent when...- UnderMiner
