This makes me think we might want to come up with a thread entitled; "the best broken bottle you found" or "Your worst digging story". Sorry about all the bad luck but then again thing can only go up from here.[:D]
Thanks for the info. Jarsnstuff is right Johnroy without seeing them it is tough to say. They sound different but it is difficult to say without seeing them. There is a great auction coming up May 27 & 28, 2005 in Sylvester, GA or there website is www.danielauctioncompany.com. I try to check all...
Thanks for the info. I have been bidding on some on ebay but have been blown away by some of the prices the jars go for without the lids. Did jumbo offer any kind of promotional materials? ie posters, standee's, etc?
I am looking for someone to dig with neard my area. I have been reading lots of great articles in the forum and am eager to start if there is anyone close.
Any info. on what kind of tumbler to get, where to find one and how much to spend on my first. Will this work on removing the white film from the inside? Thanks for the follow-up guys!
I still have the white film in some of my bottles and jars. I do have some great new brushes, thanks Digdug for the ideas on the Bar Keeper's Friend and brush but alas I am still stuck. I have also tried bleach. Any other ideas or suggestions out there? If you are unaware of what I am talking...
Hey Bill,
Great stuff! I know it was a nice reward for all your hard work. Two questions if you do not mind.
1. What did you use to clean your items? They look great!
2. Were you lucky enough to find anything intact?
Thanks
Great info. and a great dig site. This is the stuff I really like to find sodas, milks, etc. I wish I was close I would love to join you. Good Luck on your finds!
Wow those look perfect. I just ordered 2 sets and cannot wait to use them. What is your recommandation for inside soda bottles with film using these brushes?
I am willing to try anything. 2 of my favorites are of a Gordon's and Tom's Jar. The others are on ACL's and No Deposits. I sure would like to get them nice and sparkling like some of the pics I have seen. I am a bit of a neat freak when it comes to glass on display. It looks so much better if...
Great finds! I would pic jars over bottles anytime, but you take what you get when it comes to digging. I know to each his own. I just prefer the bottles. Nice lot!
Thanks digdug. These are jars and bottles I have from 40's through 60's. Some have ACL labels and some do not. Would it be safe to use on the inside and not near the ACL? How about silcone grease? I was reading about it in another post.
I have some glass with a filmy light white layer on parts or thoughout certain bottles. I have tried cleaning but not had any luck. Will Bar Keeper's Friend work for this type of application. Or does anybody have another type solution?[>:]
