Hi all, recovering from hernia surgery so have ALOT of downtime. Can anyone recommend any good digging channels on YouTube? Im pretty fond of Adventure Archaeology and Digger Dave, but would like to find some more, especially if they are in PA.
Thought this would be a fun topic to start. I get a kick out of the names of some of the "medicine" used back in the day as well as some of the interesting ingredients that were put in them.
I'll start with a local favorite, Oil of Gladness, a specialty of Moyer Brothers Bloomsburg PA...
Marketplace finds, got 2 local dairy bottles today, pretty pumped. Orangeville is an even smaller town than where i live so finding stuff from there is awesome. Centralia is a local ghost town, some of you may have heard of it. If not here a link...
Got a crate of dug bottles off of FB Marketplace for $25, pretty nice score. Been cleaning them up a bit to post on here, heres a few so far
Im thinking this is the best one of the bunch
Picked through my first dump in quite a while this past week. Nothing too special, but the property dates to at least 1870s, so i plan on taking my nephew back there to dig around a bit for his first dump dig. i found these just on top between two separate spots without having to really dig.
Looking for ANYTHING bottle or otherwise Millville, Jerseytown, Iola, or Eyers Grove PA. May have interest in certain bottles from the surrounding area as well
Bought this from a co worker who knew i collected bottles, they had found it in an old shed. Thats about all i know, looks like something medical. Curious as to what is really is and possible value if any. Thanks
Hi all, new to the forum. I use liquor bottle boxes to store most of my bottles. They work ok but some are alot more sturdy than others, so i was wondering what the bottle community uses and could recommend. Thanks
