    Glove Test, One, Two

    So, I purchased some Trapper Gloves from PCSOutdoors and got to test them out today. I went out in the kayak and I could see a paper thin sheet of ice in a few spots. The gloves kept the chill to a minimum. I could feel the cold, but at no time did I feel uncomfortable. I managed two keepers...

    2014 Calendar?

    I can't find anything searching for it, but I'm also half blind and half dense. Is there a 2014 Calendar?

    Cleaning Barnacles

    Any ideas on how to get the remains of barnacles off bottles? Soak in CLR maybe? I can get the bulky part off, no problems, but the little imprint where they cling on is really tough. I've tried a copper brush, steel wool, and a wood toothpick, but none do the job.

    Went back to the river ....

    This time with a little more time and a metal crabbing net! I was in my kayak and every time the paddle hit the bottom of the very silty river bed, I could feel it was hitting bottles. But I was concentrating on the things I couldn't quite reach last time (when I found the milk) I...

    I finally found a milk!

    I was beginning to think people in southern Maryland only drank unmarked pints. Turns out they only drink that 99.99% of the time lol I saw several bottles on a part of the shore I couldn't get to, so I went farther down river to a place I could get to! Only bottle I saw (it was hell...

    Possibly obscure Coca Cola Bottles?

    I will preface this post by saying I've lived in LaPlata, Maryland for over 15 years and have actually worked next to the old bottling plant (now a distribution center) for 12 years. I've never seen a LaPlata MD coke bottle until yesterday. I've found a couple of broken ones, but no full...

    Strange looking Owens Illinois bottle

    I know this is probably from the 60s or 70s, but it's a cool looking bottle and I'd like to know what was in it The symbol is the I inside an O but no diamond. The plant code is a 3 and the date code reads 5 (I'm guessing 1965). The seam does not go all the way through the threads. I...

    Before 1900? After 1900? This particular find is not in my comfort area.

    I found these pieces of ?stoneware? that I suppose may have been an old 5 gal. bucket or something? They were partially embedded in the soil and partly exposed. I'm going to head back at some point with a rake to try to find the rest of it. Any ideas?

    Possible New Spot!

    I was out metal detecting and stumbled on a possible new site =) there was a 3' x 3' (approx.) area where the soil was way softer than the surrounding area. I only dug for a few minutes as I was headed back to the car, but I found these three (below), a bunch of busted up bricks/tiles, and...

    50s to 70s ACLs?

    Is this a good era? I've only ever found 1 dump (from 1910-1925) and a couple randoms in the woods. My cousin and friend are showing me a bottle dump from the 50s to 70s and tell me I will need a semi to take them all out. I don't know anything about ACLs aside from that they range from the...

    Washington D.C. Sodas

    I was looking for people wanting bottles by state/country and didn't see anyone for Washington D.C. Is it not listed or does no one want them lol? I've recently come across 10+ Washington D.C. sodas from around 1915 - the late 1920s

    Gun Cleaning Kit?

    anyone ever try using a small caliber gun rod and mop brush for cleaning hard to reach places in a bottle? I've tried the cut copper wire and CLR method but sometimes it just doesn't cut it.
