I dug a bottle with most of the label intact about a year ago. Very carefully wiped it down' then masked off around the label and sprayed a light coat of clear on it, let er dry followed by a couple more coats. then later cleaned the bottle some more,,id show you all a picture, but recently...
Was digging at a dump the other day.. Not a very productive spot ..often take nothing home with me.. 1930s to 50s type stuff.. Pulled this gold colored bottle out--took it home because I liked the color of it.. Un-embossed has some bubbles in the glass.. Possibly older beer bottle ?? Tony AZ...
There luckily was very little glass here unlike other areas i have dug... Rock could have pushed my arm into some glass and cut a artery !!! I was very lucky..
So i'm kinda new to bottle digging I've only did it about 10 times w/ limited success...a few things i know like -Don't dig by yourself-- actually have broken this rule a few times-- yesterday being one of those days...:( So yesterday i decided to go do some sifting at an old Railroad site...
Found this 2/1/2 in poison the other day in an antique shop/ how come this one has no bums or ridges on it -like most poisons do ? Is this a common one ? It's pretty plain . Thanks Tony AZ... Says STRYCHNIA POISON.
