    Thrift store find

    Hi guys. Been a while since I've posted. Winter is a horrible time for me with the seasonal depression. I totally miss the California weather, that's for sure!! [;)] So I haven't really wanted to be out in the cold, digging for anything. I really can't wait for spring, since we have some...

    First Finds of 2012. Also? Lame!

    My husband and I went out on a hike today. I'm still feeling my way around this one area for the dump, but I'm now starting to wonder if it's just pollution from a local dump not far away (which I'm not really interested in digging in, because I know it's not that old). This is a pretty big...

    Santa's goodies for me!

    So Santa has come and gone. The kids are on overload with all of the toys and Santa brought me some new goodies too. A poison bottle (not terribly old, and with a newly applied label, but it's cobalt blue and the thought that counts). Santa also brought me a new pick axe, some other digging...

    Bottle thinking

    Since becoming obsessed with glass, I've found myself thinking of all of the sparse land around us as untouched goldmines (especially since I'm pretty close to Valley Forge). Every area I pass, I think "glass glass glass glass "where's the hole" glass glass glass." Is this a disease? Does...

    My first ever privy dig!

    I was lucky to be invited by Alan, for my first ever privy dig (see the sweet pics here: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/Alan%27s-Pre-Christmas-Dig-Party/m-476662/tm.htm. I was too busy digging and learning to take very many pictures). It was a lot different than I thought. A lot of...

    Water receding from rains.

    I was out today, driving (bad day. Drives clear the mind). It was late in the day, and I wasn't even intending to look for anything to dig. I happened upon this old closed dilapidated bridge, and a rushing stream. I decided to take a walk. Since we had a TON of rain this week, it looks as if...

    Save a pretzel for the gas jets.

    I'm not political at all. So I barely know who this guy is, save for the fact that he's a presidential candidate. But my sister sent me this link from youtube, and holy mother of Jeebus. I HAVE to share it, because it's so funny. It's called bad lip reading, but it looks like what they're...

    Local history search

    After finally having some free time (actually, I SHOULD have been out cleaning the garage, but it was freezing, so I granted myself some research time), I hit up our local historical society. Was given a tour of the old house with old memorabilia, including...bottles. Lots and lots of awesome...

    Vintage Baby Bottle

    Generally, I don't collect baby bottles, but for some reason, I was drawn to this one (http://compare.ebay.com/like/130606435805?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar) when I was at one of those vintage boutiques. However, I didn't buy it, because being that it was a vintage boutique...

    Some Auction finds

    A lot of common medicine bottles, but I can't seem to find much on a lot of them: Berry and Bros & Rudd Flask. It says London England on the bottle. I like the color (drawn to greens, I guess). Nothing particularly special about it, and I'm wondering if it's a repro. Lots...

    Dyottville Glass Works

    I went to an auction today, where they had boxes upon boxes upon boxes of bottles. I wanted to take them all. A lot of pretty common hutches and medicines (I seriously think that Mrs. Winslow's is the alternate to CA Fig. There was one in every box). I found some cool ones, but my favorite...

    Christmas comes early auction.

    Stumbled across this auction today on Auction zip http://www.absenteeauctions.com/glassworks_catalog/cgi-bin/catalog.cgi Bidding starts tomorrow, and ends on Dec 5th. Some of ODell's collection in there, among others. Minimum bids are a bit high though, IMO. Lot's of drool worthy...

    Surface Dump? And Questions

    I don't know how we're so lucky to have such nice weather here in PA all the way into Mid November (global warming be damned!), but it was a great day to get out and hike. Unfortunately, someone injected my children with Red Dye #40 and High Fructose Corn Syrup when I wasn't looking (my husband...

    Starting 'em out young!

    I have to just thank Tom for all of his local (and some not local) extras, that he graciously gave to me today. I'm so happy to have found such a friendly forum, where the majority of the people are just so enthused about their hobby. It's rare to find that these days, and I really appreciate...

    Intended to go digging, ended up at an auction

    It was my turn to sleep in this weekend, while my husband got up with the kids, which was awesome, because I TOTALLY forgot it was Daylight Savings, so not only did I sleep in, but I still had that "extra hour" in the day. When we went digging, it was a bust, and we ended up at an auction...

    How did you get started?

    Hi all. Just a question. How did you become interested in finding old glass? I've always been attracted to it, but it was the repro EG Booz that my cousin bought at a flea market that got me interested. I've been having a bit of a hard time finding places to dig. I live in SE PA, and...

    Other collectible wants, aside of bottles

    What is the one thing, aside of your most coveted bottle, that you would want. A bucket list item if you will. This is mine: A 1965 Gottlieb Buckaroo. My aunt had one, when I was a kid, and it was on of my favorite things. My reasoning for wanting one is pure nostalgia. Though, I'm...

    Heartbreaker

    I found part of my first "old" bottle yesterday while taking a walk through the woods. We were along a creek (I really need to get a metal detector). My son had great fun finding old treasures along with a zillion "squirrel hats." I found a lot of bits and pieces here and there. Old pottery...

    Broken crosses: The gateway drug

    So I took my first venture out "bottle digging." It wasn't a true digging venture, more of a nature walk with my kids to kind of get a feel for what I'm doing. I really only bought a shovel and some gloves, and then gauged my walk on how my kids were doing (note: my daughter cried the whole...

    Digging Buddy in SE PA?

    no crazy kidnapperHi guys (and gals). I'm looking for a digging buddy in SE PA. I'm a girl, so I'd prefer another girl (not trying to be sexist, I won't rule out guys, as long as you don't have a van). [:D]. I'm a learner by doing. I have tons of books, but I love to learn by experience.
