    First sign of spring

    Jumbo peanut butter jar

    Someone posted that they found one of these, but didn't show a pic. Heres mine. On the back its embossed " PACKED BY FRANK TEA & SPICE CO. CINCINNATI, OHIO". On the bottom it has the patent date of June 24, 1930. Its a neat little jar, but my camera doesn't do it justice.

    Old jug from the school dump

    I found this back in Nov. The bottom was sticking out of the hillside. I figured it was broken like most I've found here, but I HAD to check it out.

    Vess cola

    I found this at my school dump site. Can anyone tell me how old it is? This site seems to be an old land fill to build up the area behind the school for the playground. Just past the playground is a woods that runs downhill to a swampy area. About 4 ft. down the hill is a trash layer about 1 1/2...

    FOUND A FEW GOODIES!

    Nice bottles Bryan. What part of Ohio are you from? I live just north of Dayton. If you ever get over this way, drop me an e-mail. I'll take ya to my old school dump. I've found a few old bottles on the surface, but never did much digging there. There are hundreds of older broken bottles...

    First post (hope this works)

    I just found this site and got registered today. I've been digging bottles since last spring. Here is a pic of the first good bottle I found. Its a Hayner whiskey from Troy, Ohio. It has a patent date on the bottom of Nov. 30 1897. If this post works, I'll have plenty more to show Y'all. Thanks...
