    1800's Bottle Digging!

    Hey guys! This is a video from a while back. I found my first 1800's bottle and a bunch of other cool bottles. My best find for the day was my 1800's Holbrook & Co. Wosterchire Sauce bottle, and my grandmother's best find was a full Pontilled bottle. I hope you enjoy the video and I can't wait...

    New Bottle Dump Found!

    I was walking in the woods today with my dad and my cousin, looking for a bottle dump my cousin found a few years ago. I found the bottle dump and said, "oh here it is", but it wasn't the one. We found a new dump. This dump is from the 1800's and we found some 1800's stuff. We couldn't stay that...

    Huge Bottle Dump at an Old Homesite

    Sorry, I didn't find it. When I was in Lancaster, PA, I saw a bottle just like this one in an antique store for $18, but my bottle is in better condition so it's price is probably higher. Thanks, HH!

    Are you talking about the big square bottle, or a different bottle? If it is a different bottle please tell me what time the bottle is at in the video. HH!

    How Do I Use A Steel Probe?

    Hi everyone. What is a probe and how do you use it? I wan't to know how they help people find bottles, and how I can use one. Any info on them would be great. Also, where can I get one and for how much? HH!

    Bottle Digging Finds From The Bottle Dump

    Thanks madpaddla! Next time I go, I'll dig deeper and hopefully find some older bottles. I really enjoy bottle digging and going out to cool sites like this one and finding history that would have been lost forever. HH!

    Bottle Digging Finds From The Bottle Dump

    Thanks everyone. I dug down only less than a foot and found some cool stuff. If I dig down and I am not finding anything, how far should I dig before I give up on that area? How far should I dig down in this bottle dump?

    Bottle Digging Finds From The Bottle Dump

    I will have to dig that privy/well out one of these days, it will have to be in the winter or early spring though. I haven't spent much time down the hill. I have only looked at the bottles on the surface down there. There has to be some older bottles deeper, or somewhere else. HH.

    Bottle Digging Finds From The Bottle Dump

    I went out to the big bottle dump to dig some nice bottles. There is a lot of newer junk ontop, but once you dig down, some older stuff starts to come out. I found a lot of beer cans, but I only took a few. I also pulled some nice bottles. A White's Bros. milk bottle, a Simpon's Spring Water...

    History of Bottles

    Hi Connor. I think that you should focus on the history of bottles from 1600 to today. The first glasshouse in the United States began operation in Jamestown, VA in 1608. The bottle opener was invented in 1738. The first crown top was invented by William Painter in 1892. That's just some...

    Suggestions?

    Hey everyone. On Sunday, I am planning on heading out to the old homesite to do some more bottle digging. The house was built in the 1800's and has been abandoned since the 1970's. The bottle dump is huge, it covers a large portion of the woods, and it makes it's way down a hill, and there are...

    Another Video From The Huge Bottle Dump

    Hey guys. I want to thank everyone for welcoming me to the forum, and showing your support! I have another video of some digging at the old home site. This was the last time I was there, because in the summer, the place is filled with poison ivy and is just way to overgrown for me to make my...

    Huge Bottle Dump at an Old Homesite

    Thanks everyone! I am planning on going back to this bottle dump a lot this Fall and into the Winter. I haven't really dug down yet, I have just been looking on the surface since the bottle dump is so huge. Thanks for the support and I will keep everyone updated once I get digging!
