Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could give me any info on this milk bottle? I haven't been able to find a single thing on it. Seems like it might be from outside the US? The bottle is embossed N.A. Phinney Bonny Bank Dairy.
Hello all, haven't posted in awhile but I need a fellow digging partner. I have permission for what I believe was a town or community dump. Its very large a couple acres at least. I have been there a few times so far and seems to date to 1890-1930. Its no fun digging alone!
I did a little walking today at one of my regular spots. I found this poking out of the bank. I tried to do a little research and keep bringing up nothing. It was still corked with fluid. I poured it out to find an oily liquid. Any ideas? Sharp looking color. The bottle is embossed King New...
Hello all, I made it out for a dig today. I'll have to say it's been awhile I don't get out nearly as much as I used to. I didn't come across anything super but it was productive day. One of my finds was this metal tag. It has a man's name and town as well as a date posted. I know I have seen...
Hello all, it has been quite awhile since I've posted anything. I don't get to go out digging nearly as much as I used to. I do still browse the antique shops though! I picked this one up the other day and thought it was a little out of the ordinary. Has anyone ever seen one?
Hello all,
It's been awhile since I've posted anything. However, I was wondering if I could get some input. I've been working on an auction website with a very similar layout to ebay. It is going to be strictly dedicated to bottles of all types and age! The categories will break down into...
Here is an article I thought was pretty interesting. Any New York bottle collectors out there? I've always wanted to go sight seeing in New York. [:D]

Anyone have any info on this one? I picked it up in an antique shop for a couple bucks. It reminds me of the straight sided cokes with the arrows as it has arrows around the neck of the bottle. The name on this one is "Ja-Moka" from Birmingham, Alabama. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
The girl and I took a walk along a set of railroad tracks and low and behold I found a broken hutchinson soda sticking out of the dirt. Even though it was broken I was still excited as I've never actually found a hutch. I hope to make it back after some of this freakin snow melts to see if I can...
I bet none of you have this one in your collection! [:D]

alright this may sound a little odd...maybe. Does anyone dig bottles for a living? Or maybe work part time and supplement the rest of your income by digging bottles? If this is possible I'd be quite tempted. However, I have a hard time giving up anything I dig. [:)]
Hello everyone,
Just curious if there are any Oahu diggers still left on the forum? I'm in Hawaii now and was wondering about bottle scouting. Take care.
My cousin told me about a dump he had found while looking for minnows in a local creek. Keep in mind my cousin is eight years old. He even brought me back a bottle had picked up. Well the bottle he had brought me was probably 1950's maybe even 60's. I never checked the dump out because I figured...
Hello all! Went out digging for a couple hours today and found a Victor Liver Syrup. It's quite large. It's embossed Victor Liver Syrup Remedy Co. Frederick, Maryland. I had pictures of the bottle and my digging spot but all my photos came out checkered! Grr. I'll try to get some pictures of it...
I finally made it out digging! First time this summer actually. I found many, many unembossed meds. I must have chucked 20 or 30 of them back into the hole when I was done digging. I think I might be finally getting into a dump with some age to it. But then again who knows. I'll try to get some...
Hello all,
I recently went to a flea market and picked up some items I thought some of you might enjoy seeing. But first I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I picked up all of these for a buck a piece of less. I don't think any of it is really worth anything but maybe I'm wrong? The main...
Hey guys! It's been quite some time since I've posted any of my finds on here probably because I don't get out digging much anymore. :( But anyways I recently took a trip out to Montana and got to do a little bottle digging! I didn't come back with much just a few keepsakes. I found all these in...
it's been at least 6 months since I've been out digging. So after mid terms today I headed out at about 12:30-1. I dug for two hours but don't have a lot to show for it. I also dug what I THINK was a milk snake. Didn't bother me as he was hibernating so he didn't move very quick. I didn't get...
