    A VERY LATE throw!

    Back from my little hiatus! Yesterday while digging in the 1920s dump, I came across this spectacular find! A CIRCA 1860 “For Pikes Peak” historical flask! The bottle has some minor damage on the lip and a bits on the base but it faces up exceptionally well! No Ceredo variety. It was sitting...

    Meds and Sodas (May 10th and 12th)

    I went digging again at this dump for the last time until August. And it was bittersweet but the ground gave up some of my best finds yet. Highlights include a nice Gin-Gera from Greensboro in remarkable shape And by far one of my best complete sodas and by far the rarest straight side...

    Dig 5-7-2023 (TEN PIN Found!)

    Went out and dig for like 6ish hours today and found some miscellaneous bottles, but these two were the real stars of the show! I can’t pronounce the name of this chemical but it’s from Wilmington NC so it’s pretty cool. And then this. A purple toned Ten-Pin! Ginger Ale made by the Adam...

    Finds from yesterday

    Was a hard day of digging. The rain makes all the clay super heavy and very prone to collapse. But I managed a few finds. Best one was probably this Saymen’s Did also manage to find some glass lids and a wine neck (they are never whole here) and a piece of some sort of Bennington crockery Also...

    Finds from Friday 4-21-23

    I hit the dump on Friday again and did some more digging. I’ve probably only excavated about 50sqft of land total and I’m well over 120 bottles found. Finds of the day included my first (mostly) intact jug. Bottom is still there, but handle and some lip is gone. Looks broke long ago. No...

    Easter Hunt

    I think this was a pretty good Easter Hunt! Found another Burlington Drug Co. bottle that’s in great shape with strong embossing. Found a 1900s (?) Price-Booker Mfg. Co embossed pickle jar from Houston Texas. This one cleaned up really nice and it’s HUGE. These are all I’ve cleaned up so far...

    This dump keeps on giving…

    I went back to the standard dump today and in about 6 hours of work, I came up with close to 60 bottles! Mostly meds, but some real keepers include: A very well used Warners Safe Cure A completely unknown local pharmacy. I was really blown away by this. I had no idea this pharmacy and...

    Digging finds from yesterday. These Burlington Straight side Pepsis are becoming pretty common. I’m averaging 1-2 per dig. Not really sure what this Dr. Jaynes stuff is?

    Mega throwback from the dump

    Yesterday I went back to the dump after a vacation. Needless to say I was sure happy to have endured the cold temperatures to dig this Rumford Chemical Works bottle! The color on this is crazy! Gotta be one of my favorite bottles I have found! Looks applied top and 3-piece mold maybe...

    Raleigh NC Bottle Club?

    Can anyone tell me if the Raleigh or Greensboro Bottle clubs still meet? I tried reaching out to the clubs president with no success? Something tells me they are defunct? But if anyone on here is a member and knows, please share

    Squibbs

    Last year, I dug these bottles in Adams County, PA on a farm dump with a buddy. I think he might be on this forum (?). I really enjoy how photogenic these bottles are. Dug all three sizes. I wonder if other sizes were produced than three I dug. Of course, I don’t really dig this new stuff as...

    Burlington NC Straight Side Coca Cola

    So I recently dug up this SS coke from Burlington NC. This has got to be the most odd looking shaped SS coke. No pictures of one on the internet. If anyone has the coke book, can you tell me if this exists in the book? Also a value for a complete one (in an honest estimate?) I was surprised to...

    So I found this bottle about two weeks ago and am I’m not sure exactly what this cobalt square Sal-Fruitol bottle is? Internet searches come up empty so I’m wondering if you guys might know what it is. Cheers Still

    Bottles cracking AFTER coming out of the ground

    Hey guys so I have been pulling some bottles out of a local dump and after about 24-72 hours of just sitting on the floor of my room, I have started to notice some bottles beginning to flash crack and flea bite. These are not sitting in sun light and are just on the ground of a room that only...

    An impressive find from yesterday

    Feast your eyes on something I've been dying to find! A straight side Pepsi-Cola in aqua. It's probably fairly common(?) town Burlington NC, but I still really like it. Minus some flash cracks, it's complete!

    Anyone have experience with Muriatic acid?

    Hey guys, I recently saw a YT video of someone using muriatic acid to clean their bottles? Does this actually work? Is it safe and practical? Cost efficiency? How does it compare to things like Vinegar or CLR? I just want to hear experiences or other did bits. Cheers - Still
