    Maui Vacation

    Hi All- I am a bottle collector here in southeast Wisconsin that is travelling to Maui for a 9 day vacation tomorrow with my wife (its our 20th anniversary). She has put up with my obsession all these years, I figured it wouldn't hurt to see if there was anything for an old bottle chaser like...

    1894 Carters Ink...Olive Green or Dark Citron Green?

    Nice find triple D - that is one spectacular color. If I had the cash, I would give you $400 for that right now. Only a lucky girl like you could find such a gem.

    Milk Bottles from almost all 50 States

    Hi everyone- I have been meaning to stop procrastinating and start putting up a collection of milk bottles that I can across. The bottles have been stored in a basement here in Wisconsin for over 30 years. Probably 400-500 bottles with almost every state represented with Wisconsin milks...

    How do you divide the spoils?

    My two cents. I used to dig with a couple of friends that had been digging for years together using this proven and in my mind the fairest way to divide the spoils of many days of hard work. Accumulate a year's worth of bottles at one guys house (with the most room). They would wash and...

    Thanks coboltmoon. Do you know when these were produced? It seems tin tops were ways earlier than paper.

    Archaeologists catch looter !! haha please

    Reread the last 3 sentences or so. I work for County government here is Wisconsin so I see it all the time. Paraphrasing its says" We think there might be something of value (historical or otherwise), but the inefficient way we enforce laws (with one hand not knowing what the other is doing)...

    Lunchtime Dump digging..

    Hey Rick- Now that I have all the letters, it still is a Hungarian bottle but the translation is different. Brazay Kalm must be the name of some time of beverage company name or product. The second word Nagykereskedes means at least the closest translation is large business concern or...

    Lunchtime Dump digging..

    Hi Rick- Being full blooded Hungarian, I collect bottles embossed with Hungarian names or whatever. Your green bottle is from Budapest obviously and the middle embossed words (if I can read it correctly) are Nagy Keszervis which translates to Big Bitter Water. Post a picture of the front view...

    Cleaning Paper Label Beers

    Bought a box of bottles at an estate sale this weekend. Mostly 30s and 40s paper label beers. Most of them are filthy but the labels are mostly intact. How do I clean them up and not destroy the labels? I tried it one other time with water by dabbing at the label but it starting ripping the...

    Is it a Dump?

    Thanks everyone. I know how to dig a privy but the dump thing is new to me. It seems a little daunting to dig such a large area but I suppose a ravine dump won't be as deep as some privies go. I'm hoping to find some good local beers,sodas, pharmacy or milks. I know I have to go back and look...
