    teeny tiny cellar holes

    So, what you're saying, is a really need a detector [;)] I poked around for about an hour all around this foundation, even scraped the leaf litter off of a few depressions, and found not even a shard or speck of rust. I figure with a metal detector I could at least improve my odds... What...

    teeny tiny cellar holes

    If I only HAD a metal detector! Seriously, I think I need one for these sites. I dug around in the foundation for a bit and found nothing encouraging - just more bricks and rocks. If there is anything at these sites it is buried. Here is a picture of one of the foundations. Probably...

    A couple of new finds

    Are ya gonna post the cleaned up blob top? I dug a manchester blob top, too, and it looks superficially like yours. Want to see if it is the same company! Are they worth more with the cap intact as is yours, or does it matter? BTW - nice bottles. Really nice color on that flask. I dug...

    what's this?

    Nevermind... Found the answer on another thread. 1885 - 1890 (or thereabouts).

    what's this?

    Thanks Meech, My brain didn't register the 'J' in the 'JSP' logo - I see it now! I read the thread you linked - thanks! It didn't mention the age on these. Do you have the range? Thanks!

    teeny tiny cellar holes

    So, I keep finding these teeny tiny cellar holes. I’ve found three of them way out on the hiking trails (since I started looking for bottles, I spend more time looking for straight lines in the forest than I do at the trail, if you know what I mean!). What are these? They seem way too...

    bottles under the rocks

    I was talking with a very experienced bottle collector over the weekend (40+ years of digging) and mentioned that my first and only old dump seems to have played out. I explained that the few good bottles I found were right near the surface (1870s or so whiskey flask, late 1800s blob top beers...

    ATLAS jars

    Hi All, I found about a dozen ‘ATLAS E – Z SEAL’ and one BALL jar. I found them in what I think is a fifties dump (dated by some Coca-Cola bottles I found there). I have no idear if these things are collectable, but two of the ATLAS jars are really nice to look at. One is a sort...

    cellar hole diagnosis...

    I found what appears to be a very old cellar hole way out in the middle of nowhere, NH. It is made of un-mortared stone. The thing is, I'm not sure it's a cellar hole for a house. It seems too small - it's only about 10 feet square (with a little 5' square alcove at the end of it). It has...

    keep-alive post

    ohhh... my bad, then! I thought I read that you hadn't post within 30 days, your account would be removed. Not sure where I got that from! Anyway, the bottle. I thought milk bottle, too. It has the shape, but it's a pint in size, at the most. I guess it doesn't matter, it's a pretty...

    Ghost or Paranormal

    I’m no believer in ghosts, but events in my old house in Francestown, NH almost changed my opinion! The house was built in 1874. For you locals, it is the third house on the right off of Oak Hill Road, which itself is off of main street in the village. Francestown is a postcard perfect New...

    keep-alive post

    Hi Folks, This is, more than anything, a ‘keep-alive’ message; I haven’t been out to the dump very often in the past few weeks and haven’t found anything interesting to share. I don’t want to lose my account due to inactivity, so here’s about the best thing I could come up with...

    larkin soap co. buffalo

    Larkin is interesting - I'll finish reading the page after I put my kids to bed. Almost sounds like Amway or something! More good news from that page - the page says that the bottle pictured (the same one I found) was dug from an 1890s privy. I found this Larkin bottle with the Whiskey...

    larkin soap co. buffalo

    Thanks Ladyp! The first page has my bottle. I lifted it's pic from the page and attached it to this message. Look how subtle the embossing is - it's really hard to read. Looks like a lost a little more off the top than I expected! I'm missing the neck and stopper...

    larkin soap co. buffalo

    Hi, I found an interesting little bottle (about 2" high) with the following, barely legible, embossing: Larkin Soap Co. Buffalo The glass is extremely thick. It is clear, sqare, and unfortunetely, the top is broken off at the neck. My Zumwalt's book has a blurb on Larkin - but not...

    genric, hopefully pre-1900 bottle

    Hi All, I uncovered a small cache of junk while extreme-digging the vertical side of my 20's-30's dump. I found a few odd bottles that I am hopeful are older than what I usually find there. Ever since I found a blob top Schlitz in this dump I have been hoping to find it's littermates...
