    Old foundation in the woods

    I went down to an old creek, walking some trails. I found a foundation made of brick, not sure what this foundation was to. I only found 2 footings. They were made of brick, I looked around for the rest of the foundation and could not find it. I did however find a couple of mounds, about 2...

    Newbie needs help with Pepsi Bottle Id

    I am just happy that I found something and was able to pretty much ID it. Other than the bottled in area, so that is where the bottle was made?

    Newbie needs help with Pepsi Bottle Id

    According to a little more research this bottle was made by Owings-Illinois Glass Company. And the fact that the I is inside the O means this was definitely after 1954. It was bottled in plant 14 which means it was bottled in Bridgeton, NJ. I am assuming that the 77 is the date which would be...

    Newbie needs help with Pepsi Bottle Id

    I am completely new to this, I walked around by a river until I found a pepsi bottle that looked like it might be old. I have not cleaned it very well yet. The bottle says Pepsi - Cola on one side, and just Pepsi on the other. Near the bottom of the bottle, it states "Dispose of Properly"...

    Searching for Dumps

    I am reading on this site about finding old dumps. We have quite a few creeks and rivers, and I know where the old railroad bed was at, dating pre 1870. I do not have a clue where to start looking. I was thinking about going to a creek and walk near the river, keeping my eyes peeled for old...
