    Father John's Medicine Bottle

    I found this while metal detecting my river bank area I frequently go to. Bottles occasionally wash up.

    Mitchell & Fletcher olive oil

    That is a great looking bottle. That lip is awesome and the embossing is very nice. Any more bottles from there?

    Beginner finding more bottles than info: are these catsup bottles?

    Yes those are catsup Bottles. They seem to be everywhere. 40s to 60s possibly.

    First time here. Need some advice.

    Looks like 20s-50s. Definitely worth a dig to see if this started out as a dump with newer stuff at the top. Any foundations? Bring a metal detector if you can get one.

    J.G. Ham pure drugs Livermore Falls Me

    I have the same Mortar and Pestle logo on a local bottle I found in my home town. I traced mine back to late 1890's just by finding old google book articles about the drug store itself. Very nice bottle especially if it if from a local town. Real hard history.

    Rexall Fan

    I love the way these were manufactured and little kiddy finger protection never came up in design. Great looking fan.

    Oak Island treasure hunt makes a find ?

    Oh I really think they are being compensated by the network. I do believe they HAD out of pocket expenses initually but are being compensated now. I mean I really enjoy the show and follow it but this and shows like Gold Rush and even Alaskan Bush People, there are "paychecks" involved once...

    Suggested Metal Detecting topic title

    I understand this is an antique bottle forum but bottle digging and metal detecting are like 2nd cousins in the hobby world. I know there are MD questions and posts on this forum but can I suggest a specific topic title for Metal detecting maybe just called "Metal Detecting OR "detectorist...

    Is this considered damage?

    Very cool though. Gives insight as to how fragile these were and re-use was probably avoided. I think the cleaning process would be damaging before refilling.

    Marble Id

    Hmmmmm did not think of that but possible. Thanks

    Marble Id

    Sorry for the low quality photo. This is a marble I found hunting artifact at the river. It is clear, translucent I guess would be a better term. The image seen through the marble is inverted if that helps. I don't think it is old because I don't see any swirls or break points. I don't know much...

    Connecticut bottle?

    Very cool bottle. Is this purchased or found? I love the color and seeding.

    Crudest ABM

    Embalming Fluids are very collectable and those who are into "oddities" will pay high dollars for these. Especially labeled ones.

    Crudest ABM

    It is hard to tell whether the seeding was purposely injected in the bottle to make it look old OR it is an early ABM (1920s). It is actually cool looking. Seeding gives character.

    Coke bottle

    I think these were commemorative coke bottles put out in 1976. They look impressive when found but I do not think they are worth much today.

    The river gives up more

    Yes I do stand corrected. Applied Tops includes all lips that were applied after the bottle was removed from blow pipe or mold whereas "tooled" were basically crown tops twisted into place onto a molded type bottle. In my example you can actually see the stressed twisted glass...

    The river gives up more

    I went down to the river yesterday and found a pre-prohibition beer with an applied crown top. I have several of these but always pick them up because of the rich history the company had and also being a local. I wonder how many of these were destroyed during the prohibition era. It has great...

    Looking for Barley's Orange Soda

    I am going through some old post and as coincidence would have it, I actually found a Bireleys bottle yesterday.

    Pre-Pro Beer Tray

    WOW what a great relic. Did you find this in a antique shop? The condition adds to the authenticity of it.

    Vapo-Cresolene Co Aqua poison bottle

    I would love to have the burner they burned the Vapo-Cresolene in. Nice bottle. I have one.
