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...
I knew it was not old, just using it to practice cleaning and researching the info so that when I do find something old I will have a little experience cleaning and ID'ing.
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...
Thanks for the tips, I went around following trails, game trails etc today. I am just kind of trying to get a feel for things, I planned on climbing the hill to the actual railroad bed when I have more time and follow it a bit. d
I went down to a river near an old railroad bed, I walked around about an hour. I found an embossed pepsi bottle sticking partially out of the ground, I dug it out. It looks like it is after 1950, not sure of a date yet. I posted about it in the soda forum, will post pictures there tomorrow...
blah, I was going to put a picture in but the pictures are too large in file size. I am kind of limited in time today, will try to post pictures tomorrow.

I am a newbie, I live very close to you. I do not have any equipment, I would like to go on a few privvy or dump digs to see if this is for me. If you still want someone to dig with, and do not mind bringing a newbie with you shoot me a line.
I know this is an old post, I am new to digging. I do not have any equipment as of yet, I really want to go on a bottle dig or two and see if it is for me. If there are any experienced diggers within an hour or two of birmingham alabama that would not mind bringing a newbie into the hobby...
I am in Warrior. I am also a rookie. I am looking for some experienced partners as well. I am originally from Jasper, who knows we may know each other. If I find a digger I will let you know and maybe we can both learn the hobby.
