So in Hawaii, generations of bottle diggers have picked up most of the good bottle spots. By the grace of God, I stumbled upon one just off the famed Manoa Falls hiking trail. I'm talking hundreds of bottles on the surface and who knows how many more beneath! I have a feeling that it may have been the dump that serviced the whole Manoa area. Most of the bottles appeared to be from the 1920s and 30s but there were some (albeit broken) applied lips here and there. I didn't have any tools so I was just picking stuff up. I ended up only taking one bottle. Correct me if I'm wrong but I found a roughly 120-year-old whiskey with an applied top. The monetary value is pretty negligible in my opinion but it is one of a few bottles in my collection from the turn of the century. It sadly has a lip chip, which is probably why past diggers left it. I also noticed that the bottle's base is slightly elliptical rather than the usual 'perfect' circle I am accustomed to. Heading back there on Thursday with a few buddies. Wish me luck!
