    Original 1988 (??) full Holiday Coca Cola Bottles (6) in original cardboard container!

    Hey! Just wanted to share my latest find with everyone! I was helping to clean out an old house and found these "hiding" away tucked out of sight on the corner floor of the attic! The house is historic 1800s! Hopefully, I'll find more "hidden" treasures. I think I know that these are...

    Needing a professional local South Jersey Antiques/Sports Memorabilia Appraiser

    I recently uncovered my (God, I can't believe I'm saying this) OLD (LOL) Garbage Pail Kids Cards collection. Allot of them are probably not worth more than a dollar a piece, but I have more than a few that may be seriously worth more than just a couple of dollars. I want to sell them, but I need...

    Small 1 pint Abbots milk bottle buried in the road!

    Hey. I was walking along a well traveled, hard packed gravel trail, NOT looking for bottles or such, just a walk through the wooded trails. I stubbed my toe right on the bottom of this bottle! Yes, I know, should be wearing better shoes than sandals, but, hey, its summer, and I wasn't searching...

    Value of a1977 Avon Brazillian Handcrafted Stein

    I recently came across this Avon collector's Stein from 1977 in our attic. I know Avon products can be a little collectible, but, are they in high demand from that period of time? If so, what items are sought after, since I have other Avon products from that era as well. Just wanting to know the...

    The Green Torpedos of the Pines! What the heck are they?

    I found some old fiberglass tanks half-buried in an old clay pit in the pine barrens of South Jersey (where all the weird stuff is or happens)! These cylindrical fiberglass tubes are located in an old clay pit that was used by a brick manufacturing plant from the 1930s to the 1950s. These tubes...

    Blown glass or mass manufactued pitcher from the 60s or 70s?

    I've purchased this "stained glass" pitcher in the mid-80s at a flea market in NJ. I've used it all this time...love it. It's really tall, has a perfect spout/lip to pour from and a perfect handle that is easy to hold, it also looks like old stained glass. Well, I recently took a hard look at it...

    Medicine bottle from the 60's, or worthless bottle from the late 70s or 80s?

    How do I figure out what the bottles were and the date they were made. I don't have a clue as to dating these types of bottles. I don't think they made these brown glass bottles after the 1970s though.

    Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Still Rules!

    I came across this old blue dude hanging out in a tree a few months ago. I thought he was cool and I left him there. I just came back through this area again, several months later....and he's still sitting on his tree throne! I thought this was just too cool. He survived decades of fighting, and...

    6 1/2 oz. Whistle Soda Pop Bottle

    Okay. I was wandering around in the woods off the side of the road in my hometown, not really being too serious, but casually looking and I found this old Whistle soda bottle right on the surface of the ground, barely covered with pine needles! I did some research and I found that the WHISTLE...

    What is the worth of these (newish old) wine bottles? Any value?

    Am I right in thinking that these wine flasks are from the 60s 70s, and are not particularly collectible or valuable? I find these all over my dig area in perfect shape. It's a shame to see them laying around and not doing anything with them, but I don't think they are worth anything. Should I...

    I hit the jackpot ... or bottle that is!

    I was riding on an old bike trail when I spotted some common trash items. Being a rather old trail and not used that much, my curiosity was piqued. Sure enough, upon walking around the outer skirts of the trail and into some pesky thorn bushes ... I stumbled upon a whole dump site from the 1970s...

    Nature's own CHIA pet!

    Thought this was funny! Found it on a dig around an old dump site on a trail through the woods. Dumpsite appears to be from the 70s. So the doll was no Chia pet! Nature made her own REAL CHIA pet!

    Just found! A very decorative embossed and fancy lipped bottle!

    There are no markings on the bottle that I can see. It was found in a wooded area behind and amidst the ruins of an old restaurant/deli/liquor store that burnt down in the late 70s. Most bottles and debris around it are dating from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Can anyone give me a guess as to what it...

    Old decoratively embossed "Madera Winery" bottle found!

    Found this beautiful "Oldish" wine bottle. I know it was a wine bottle from a "Madera Bonded Winery." My question is, of course, what year would it have been made? My guess is somewhere between 1940 and 1965? just a guess. Can anyone educate me on determining wine bottles year of manufacture?

    Latest finds / one of interest: a small triangular shaped milk white bottle with rusted cap still on.

    Okay, here are my latest finds. I found them behind an old vacant lot that used to be a popular local restaurant in the 60s and 70s. It burned down, now it's an empty lot and a wooded area. here are some pics of what I found. Most are common I think, but the one milk-white bottle has my...

    I'm interested in finding someone in my area who shares my interest in digging for old bottles. Anyone in my area? Let me know!

    Trash or Treasure? In plain sight!

    I found this right beside a popular riverbank up on the grass in plain view. I took it as trash at first and was about to throw it away. Upon further examination, I noticed it was glass. I'm guessing from the seems (running up the entire length of the bottle) and the styling, it might be from...

    Turtle leads me to my new find!

    I was looking at a painted turtle at my favorite fishing hole. I was able to get real close to him. When he finally moved in the water, I looked down, and there was this bottle. Surprised me, since it is in an area where everyone fishes and hangs out. Not allot of stuff survives around there...

    Where Oh Where Do I seek?

    Hey. During the fall time (too hot for me now), I'd like to start looking for new places to find old bottles or whatever. The question I have is this: How likely is it that you would find old bottles aways off the side of the road, deeper into the woods than the immediate shoulder. My thinking...
