    Not sure what it is....

    Well it's been a while since posting. I was out doing some exploring the other day in a dump that I was hoping would be older(looked to be 1940-60's) and I found a neat thing that I thought at first was an old clay target type thrower. Then maybe an old artificial Christmas tree stand. After...

    From sheds to glass.....

    Well finished another great shed season (deer antlers that is) and along the way I found a few new spots to check out with the bottles. I hit this little surface dump that looked promising...shards of blobs and older stuff mixed in with more modern items. I didn't have too much time but did...

    TOP 10...lets see em

    Its amazing in just a couple months into this really cool new type of collecting for me I find myself with a ton of bottles already. Now I know why people dont bring home anything unless its at least hand tooled or a really cool embossed abm type bottle. I find myself already leaving behind...

    New York State of Mind.....

    Went to my home town this weekend to attend a banquet and see some friends. Its a little town in the country and my uncle who still lives up there has a real old house on the side of a steep hill. I figured I would give it quick look over...since getting the bottle bug in Feb. I have learned a...

    BIG WOODS MOUNTAIN MAGIC!

    Went up to middle of nowhere PA this weekend to visit some friends, a place that I have been to 5 or 7 times before, but not since I got this bottling bug a couple of month ago. With a little free time I thought I would poke around for any old dumps....ended up finding one good sized one and a...

Started with what looks like a mill stone that was discarded as it was broken in two....cool find! Found two deer sheds...always cool...and on the way out finally found an...

    Must get older!!

    Found another dump..not as old as I had hoped but I picked part of it any way. Some dairy bottles in different sizes and a couple of mystery finds. Any idea on what the post and ball thing is?? The post is almost a stone material and the top is black plastic/glass mixture compound. The metal...

    Tooled beer and assortment of insulators

    Went back to an older spot I found a month ago. Found plenty of broken old things but only one nice hand tooled beer and an assortment of insulators all from the same small spot? Love the beer...I know its probably common but it my first one of this type. Not sure on the insulatores but...

    What do you think.....

    Newbie here and as I am enjoying my new "collection" I also need to know if some of what i am bringing home is even worth it. The other day, while making one more round through some great shed spots, I found yet another surface dump. Good thing for the backpack as I couldnt let some of those...

    Getting warmer....

    With my shed (antler) season winding down and just getting interested in the old bottle thing I have hit a few spots that would give me chance at both. Today I came close to getting my first embossed, whole blob top. No big deal to most but I love those blob top beers...unfourtunately the few...

    Love to hunt....but new to the BOTTLE thing!!

    I love to hunt...period. It can be arrowheads, fossil sharkteeth, deer or sheds. Over my travels shed (antler) hunting I have come across a number of spots that had bottles. Mostly broken, some old, some newer...but sometimes you would see an intersting bottle. Well about a month ago I...
