    Anyone in Savannah GA?

    Hey All, I'm heading down from NY to Savannah GA and Tybee Island next week. Is anyone on the forum down that way? Would love to see someone's collection while I'm in that neck of the woods... Let me know. Thanks! ChrisP

    Digging in the muck...

    Does anyone have any advice as to how to find and get to bottles that may be sitting under a couple to several feet of wetland muck and peat that is walkable/hard on the surface? I have a site that I am sure will be a treasure trove given the 18th century homesites adjacent, but I'm not really...

    GPR for bottle hunting...

    Hey Guys, Has anyone here tried to use ground penetrating radar to find groups of bottles in privies or individual bottles? I'm looking forward to taking this beast for a test drive in my back yard this weekend... If you have any experience with one of these let me know. Thanks!Chris

    The best $0.50 I ever spent at a yard sale...

    Hey Guys, Nothing earth shattering here, but I wanted to get your opinion on what I assume is a civil war era wine bottle. This is in pristine condition and apparently dug as it has a small amount of dirt still under the rim. It also has a really nice lean to it when sitting on the shelf. This...

    Unknown small pontiled bottle...

    Hey Guys, I found this small bottle while searching for pottery under an old home in the area. This one has damage to the neck but another one found with this is undamaged. Is this an ink, a perfume bottle or something else entirely? We also found two intact and pontiled umbrella inks with...

    Early American mallets?

    hello All, I just picked up these two mallet bottles and I'm hoping they are early American...maybe Wistar? Any information would be greatly appreciated. I have not seen this form before but couldn't pass them up. They are about 7.5 inches tall. I can provide additional pics if necessary...

    Found while diving...Sake bottle?

    Hey Guys, It's been a while since I've bee on the site. Too busy with field work, etc.. I found what I think is a Japanese sake bottle while diving recently. Although it looks heavy, it is actually very light and apparently thin-walled. It was found where I have previously found bottles...

    Spratts stopper?

    Hey folks, I found this green blue glass stopper under a home dating from the mid to late 1700's about 10 years ago. It is embossed "SPRATTS" on one side "PATENT" on the other and there is a raised wedge/key under the top that has the date "185?" embossed on it. I believe the last number...

    Different ebmossed torpedo found diving

    Here is one of two identical torpedo bottles I found a couple weeks ago. Not sure if the proper term for this bottle is a "tenpin" since it will stand up. I was able to find a "CARL H. SCHULTZ, C-P M-S, PAT MAY 1868, NEW YORK" with a crown online, but not a blob. I assume this one is common...

    Recent diving finds

    Hey Guys (and Gals?), I'm new to the Forum and new to bottle finding/collecting, but I wanted to share a couple photos of some recent finds. I do not have the bottles here with me at the moment so I cannot provide any better shots beyond these iPhone photos, but you get the idea. I've...
