Hello, fellow bottle hunters!
Just stopped by to say hi to everyone, I haven't been here in awhile.
I've been in the hospital for three months, I accidentally swallowed some Listerine. [:D] (HeHeHeHe, just kidding [:)] ) Been out digging a few times, didn't find anything special, just newer...
Hello, fellow bottle collectors;
I thought it would be great if every member who has a bottle site to post their link here.
I don't have one but I'm planning to put up a bottle gallery site soon.
Please include the name of your site and the complete url so we can link with one click. i.e. ...
Hello, all;
I've been digging on a brushy slope behind a house for a couple of days now and I've found several newer bottles and a nice old Nehi bottle. [:)] My problem is the bank is covered with brush, (some of which I have removed) and the ground is a rat's nest of small roots. Every time I...
What is the most interesting bottle you have ever dug and where did you dig it? (creek, dump, privy ect.)
Mine is a nice little clear Jack Daniel's Bottle with a fancy neck on it. I dug it out of a ditch beside a county road. Sorry, don't have a photo.

Hello, Everyone.
I recently dug an old Nehi bottle like the one pictured here. It says: ''Design Pat'd Mar. 3, '25.'' on the bottom and is 8-1/2 inches tall, with a capacity of 7 oz.
Does anyone know how old it is and how much it might be worth?
Any information will be greatly...
[:)]Hello, everyone;
I'm trying to collect a soda bottle from every bottling plant in north Alabama, (BIG project!) and I need information about the bottling plants in Haleyville, in Winston County.
I have heard there were three; a Coca-Cola, a Dr. Pepper and Kist. I have found one pic of the...
Hello, fellow collectors;
Is there an online map archive that shows the locations of old dumps? (for Alabama)
So far, I've searched The University of Alabama's map archive and topozone.com and came up empty.
If anyone knows of an archive with maps that show old dumps, please let me know. Any...
Since you have helped me with my questions, I thought I might give back a little by posting my new discovery...
I'm just getting started in the hobby of bottle collecting, but I have already discovered a great way to clean old bottles; LISTERINE!
I accidentally bought a bottle of the...
Hello, Fellow Bottlediggers;
First, I want to thank everyone for their answers to my other questions.
Second I have two more questions for you if you don't mind me asking. [:)]
First question: How big were outhouse pits in north Alabama? About 3'x3'x10'? (my guess) Thankfully, I don't know...
Where can I buy a probe or the materials to make one? I would prefer going to a store and not ordering one through the mail. I want a long probe to search for outhouse pits and hidden dumps. I live in Alabama and the closest hardware/home improvement store is Lowe's.
Any info will be greatly...
Hello, fellow bottle collectors;
I'm just starting out in the hobby so pardon me if I sound dumb. [:)]
I've been bottle hunting for a few days in this old field, and found a few nice ones scattered around on the surface. I've removed them and would like to find more, but I don't want to dig up...
