    Another Intersting Find I Lost Track Of

    Again ( years ago ) and I'm out with the metal detector at an abandoned property. House was falling down. Spent a good two hours roaming the propery, and skunked. Something usually turns up, but not this time. I'm leaving and glanced at the front porch roof. The globe around the light was...

    I never thought for a moment, it was worth the offer. I should have sold it. Now it's long gone, and no money. A lesson thoroughy learned. Too often people find a collectible, and they believe they hit the lottery. Now a very nice old bottle is in the wind, and not in a collection; and no money...

    There have been hoards of gold found in England that date back 100s & 100s of years. Found in fields that have been under cultivation for 100s of years. Gold is where you find it. Treasure hunters find Iron Age gold in farmer's field - the earliest ever...

    I'm sure the condition played a role. It was in superb condition. The mold blemishes & all the bubbles in the glass set it off. Like I said, not even a flea bite on the glass. God only knows how long it sat buried on the edge of that field. Just the neck was protruding from the dirt.

    It was about $200. for a bottle that I pulled out of the dirt at the edge of a field. To me, then, it was a nice amount of money for a soda bottle; considering I saw soda bottles go for $5. & $10. at Renningers Antique Market.

    Over the years, if it was old, as far as I was concerned, it was worth saving. I also collected documents ( original documents ) from PA's Coal Region. Mostly reports on deaths & injuries at collieries. Sold, & am still selling them off to serious collectors. There are certain artifacts, that...

    You're probably correct. I wish it hadn't disappeared.

    I contacted the US Patent Office. Since the bottle is registerd, the possibiity exists it has a legal background, and there may be information on the company. Anyway, worth a shot. Jim

    That be it; but where it got to is a mystery. I also found interesting bottles when I was seriously into metal detecting. When I first bought my Whites Goldmaster metal detector, I was so amped up, I would crawl into the most ungodly places, and never considered what could be waiting for me (...

    Found it in Pa - Schuylkill County; but so far I cannot find my old post from 2002. I get a lot of Mickey Mouse crap, but no Mickey Flip. I must be missing something in my search.

    Hello to all, Jim here. I'm a new member, and I have a question. Some years back, while out hunting pheasant, I pulled a bottle out of the ground on the edge of a field. I hope it's not a collectors piece, since I cannot find it. It just got lost in the shuffle. This is it: Sort of an aqua...
