    Help on value for Jackson's Napa Soda

    none of those sound like mine. This is not a crown top. Lettering seems ancient compared to others i've seen and much older than the photos of the last Napa on eBay.

    Help on value for Jackson's Napa Soda

    My fiancee' has a brother who used to manage a storage unit complex in California. He found this pre-1900 Napa Soda in an abandoned unit. Values for similar in Kovels run 175.00 up to 800.00. It does seems older than the stuff I'm finding in Nebraska. It does NOT have the word carbonated...

    Thoughts about hill digging

    I've been attacking the top of an old ravine in the oldest part of Omaha. In the same area I've found a flat area thats giving up pre-1900 bottles, but not packed in a tight bunch like in the ravine. The ravine hole i've dug (about two foot wide) is now three feet deep and is densely packed with...

    Railroad surprise & 'Cure' Question

    I found a huge old dump in a ravine here in Omaha. After going down three feet and not (yet) getting past about 1920, i got tired and mad and decided to walk the tracks down below. (i've never done that before with my eyes peeled) Imagine my surprise to find a Piso's Consumptive 'Cure' (in...

    Where do you live? And where do you dig?

    Omaha Nebraska, no diggers here besides my intended and myself that i know of.

I also do artwork on commission if anyone wants to look...

    Whites XLT Detector Settings

    Thanks for the tips. The first bottle i ever found was using my Whites; found a bottle with the metal lid still on it and I've not used my detector since due to abandoning coin shooting for bottles :) The 1900ish dump i'm excavating has no signs of letting up and Omaha is still under snow...

    tree debris theory...

    I have found this theory to be true twice at one hillside dumpsite and would like further thoughts from members: In the scan I'm enclosing the artwork is of a rather steep hillside with old trash at base and some along the incline. QUESTION ONE:In the section marked A i am finding old...

    More about cans...

    Thanks for all the ideas about cans ! :) The last one i read had me intrigued. Every can I've ever dug has the same boring brown look. These can't be brought back to life in some way can they ? i only ask because I've seen a (dead) link on the net about how to bring rusted beer cans back to...

    dating area by amount of cans ??

    When were cans first used for simple packaging of food items ? I'm finding no tin cans in the very old sites and more cans than bottles in the 20's to 40's sites. It might help me understand where to dig and what to pass up if someone would tell me more about cans and the amounts made in the...
