    Intracoastal bottle find

    Need help aging this bottle. Any additional info would be greatly appreciated. Also in the third pic if anyone has info on that small bottle I would love to hear it as well. There is no embossing on that small one unfortunately but I figure it must be pretty old. Pictures aren’t coming in...

    3 patent dates 1923-24

    Has 3 patent dates in the bottom, which is odd to me. Any info on what it might of contained or any companies that made bottles like this would be much appreciated.

    Rumford Chemical Works

    Need help aging this if anyone has a good estimate I’d love to hear. I believe it must be from between 1867-1900. I’m hoping someone can narrow that down with their knowledge. It came along way from Providence, RI to being found by me in New Smyrna Beach intracoastal waters. Any other cool...

    No clue what this is

    Any help with this would be much appreciated. I really love the symbols on the bottom. I think it might be a horseshoe and maybe a skull but I’m not sure. I hope this is pre1900. Thanks again for all you guys do on here, I love this forum.

    G.O. Blake’s Whiskey

    So I found this sitting pretty during low tide. At first I thought it was just a plain whiskey bottle, ended up having all kinds of embossing. Did some research but there is not much on G.O. Blake. From what I found Adams &Taylor didn’t put there names on the bottle until the late 1880s. Does...

    Mason jar intracoastal find

    Patent 1858. Found this on one of my intracoastal paddleboard hunts. Embossing is really faded, anybody that can date it or give any other cool info it would be much appreciated. Sorry for the sideways pictures that annoying!

    Christmas Coke

    Found this on one of my intracoastal bottle hunting adventures. I'm pretty confident that this is the real deal and not a 1989 reproduction. If anyone can confirm that for me that would be nice. I really like the bottle because it's from Daytona. Does anyone know the scarcity of Christmas...

    Intracoastal find ID help

    Still need to do some more cleaning but looks in decent shape. My little bit of knowledge says definitely pre 1930s but how much older than that I have no idea. Very faint S or 5 on the bottom. Any help would be much appreciated. You guys are the best.

    1880-1900 medicine bottle

    Still have to clean her up. Pretty cool story behind this Thompsons phosphate bottle from Chicago. I guess there was a court case which showed they were putting too much arsenic in the contents. oops. If anyone has any more info or the value please share. Thanks.

    Bottle ID

    Found these 2 in the intracoastal. Only thing on either of them is the 36 and a weird little scribble near the 3. The lip on the other one seems super thick. Would think both are earlier than 1936 but idk much so any help would be appreciated

    Solarization of glass and bottle ID

    So these were my 2 keepers of the day. The ancient age is from the 1930s and is pretty cool. The pink/purple one was a surprise. Apparently back in the day they were using manganese which after years or decades in the sun can cause the bottles to turn pinkish. For the most part they stopped...

    Found a new site

    So I found an old dump site. I left so much there, can't wait to get back. The one I like the most is the half gallon jug embossed with The Christian Brothers. Turns out the brothers in 1882 started making wine to fund their religious schools. Pray by day, sling alcohol at night. Bunch of...

    Railroad spike and mystery object

    Found this spike, covered in oysters. I'm new to this treasure hunting thing and I tried to knock the oysters off with a screwdriver and hammer. Well I broke it, twice. Mad at myself a little. On the positive side laying next to it in the shallow water was another iron piece of something...

    Bottle ID help please

    Found this near an Inlet. No markings except on the bottom which is difficult to see. It's says "EB&CL" Then "10025". This Inlet is well known for bootlegging so I'm always on the hunt for bottles during my paddle trip. Any help is much appreciated.

    Help ID please.

    Been bottle hunting a few months now and have had a lot of fun. Have learned a lot. Definitely was surprised when I found this bottle with a "punt". Don't know much but I guess that means it could be an old wine bottle maybe? Any help would be much appreciated. Happy hunting everyone
