    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    Oh yeah! These old tooled large logo Ruppert bottles predate Yankee Stadium, the Ruppert bottles with the smaller circular logo on the top would have been the kind served in Yankee Stadium in its early days. I once found one of these newer Ruppert bottles from the 1920's sitting in a crevice in...

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    All in the ocean on the edge of land where people likely went swimming, fishing and such. The bottles were likely on land originally but erosion washed them down into the water where they got burried in the mud all next to eachother in an area about 5 feet across. Some where near the surface...

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    I dug all these bottles from the mud today. Apparently someone really liked David Mayer beer 120 years ago. All the bottles were in the same area so I think it was the same person drinking them and stashing them, but they never came back to cash their deposits. Bottles include: 1. David Mayer...

    Wow! I wonder what hair dye consisted of back then.

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Yeah, I once found an iron artifact in the ocean when I was a kid, put it away, and years later when I found it again it had disintegrated to dust. Now when I find iron artifacts from the sea I have a whole process involving fresh water, boiling fresh water, anti-rust solutions, boiling oil and...

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    They seem to be made of some type of bronze, quite resistant to corrosion.

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    These are some old pictures from when I first found it, I have since cleaned it up: I found it in the garbage one cold snowy Feburary morning in 2015. It's a non commissioned staff officer's sword from the Union Army. The blade is German imported made in the 1850's. I am very persistent when...

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    I follow Nicola White and I know she went on a hovercraft with someone for mudlarking in Britian somewhere and ended up finding an ancient Roman jug on that particular outing, these may have been the same hover craft people she was with that you're talking about but I'm not sure. Would be nice...

    What have they done to you Johnston?!

    Misspelled bottles are the best bottles!

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Oh yes, and it is a well hidden spot too, only accessible at low tide and only by walking about 3/4 of a mile through mud. It is bassically a small thin peninsula made of mud that's mostly submerged at high tide. Part of the reason I only recovered the three portholes without looking for more...

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    I plan to keep the portholes as part of a nautical-themed display that I am building. My dream has always been to have a room akin to some type of romanticized pirate captain's cabin, with old dark hard wood walls, dim flickering ship's lamps, the sound of creaking wood, silver candle holders...
