    Suggested Metal Detecting topic title

    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...

    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...

    Cool find today.

    I found this Beer bottle today from The M Burkhardt Brewing Co. Awesome color and applied top. I can only guess 1902 to 1918. Here is a history link. http://www.ohiobreweriana...ldings/burkhardt.shtml If anyone has another opinion on age, please share. Thanks

These are always exciting to find.I also found a PAT D-105529 coke bottle with the Owens-Illinois logo 58 to the left of it and...

    Marble Id and age

    I found this marble today while metal detecting.. It is red and not perfectly round. Has dips in it Definitely looks old to me. It looks like glass. It almost appears to have a metal flaking inside of it. Sparkly is the only way I can describe it. Any way to determine age or type? Thanks

    My smallest bottle find to date

    I was out metal detecting today and while digging a hit, I uncovered this smalle bottle. I am thinking perfume. It has a threaded top but I am unsure of the age. 20s to 50s is a wide guess. It is the smallest bottle I have found. There is a 10 embossed on the bottom. Side seams go all the way...

    My first colored Ball Mason

    I went to my favorite park/old residential neighborhood today to see if anything surfaced over the winter. In the water I saw a distinctive bluish jar. I knew it was a mason of some kind but one I have never found before. I alway seem to find the clear ones from Ball and Atlas. It was a good 10...

    Old Beer and a BIM

    I was out walking the pup today and really had no intention of bottle hinting (yeah right) and visited a park that was a residential area years ago. At first I noticed a brilliant blue bottom of a bottle sticking out of an ash pile. As I pulled it out I was surprised to see it in tact. It had...

    Bottle finds today

    I went down to an area today that is a drainage ditch that drains into the river. I usually visit it after rains and discover a bottle or 2. I seemed to be at a level of 1920 era bottles from ones I have been finding recently. Anyway, I went down to find that they trenched it out by a dozer and...

    My first clay marble

    I think I found my first clay marble. I have never actually seen one up close so I am not sure. How do I recognize a clay marble? It is light weight. Not much different than a regular marble. Any way to positively ID this as a clay? The first picture I took a glass marble and put it next to the...

    Need assistance on this find

    This was an interesting find today. I am not sure what it was used for. At first I thought perfume but the bottle doesn't stand on its bottom. It is a tooled top. No seams on the side of the lip. Tiny seeds throughout the top where the lip was worked onto the glass body. It has a pattern on it...

    Salt shaker find

    I found today a salt shaker from I am guessing pre 1920 since that is what level I seem to be at in the dump. It looks plated. On the underside there is "PAT APPL'D FOR-U.S.A." On one side and the "W B MTG CO 3103" on the other side. It has some really cool engravings on the outside of the...

    Applied top lotion bottle

    I went to the dump today and found what I believe is a lotion or shoe polish cork bottle. It definately has an applied top. Real cool looking swirl pattern where they smoothed the top after application. It has 3 OZ embossed near the top. How far off am I because this is just a guess as to its...

    Possible olive oil

    Dug this possible olive oil today. I have dug 2 others in the past from the same hole. Anchor Hocking logo on the bottom. Can anyone guess an age? It is about 3-4 inches tall. Maybe held cream or vinegar also. Possible cork top or glass stopper. I imagine they were refillable and used until they...

    Atlas Strong Shoulder Mason

    I dug this from my 20's bottle site today. I am not really up on canning jars but from what I have read, this is common.The seam goes through the lip, it is clear, screw type lid. It seems to have all the qualities of a non collectable BUT I think it is cool and will definitely keep it.Is there...
