Been looking for someone in the area that shares my same interest in bottles and finally this morning, I found one. The pastor at my church! I was talking to him in his office and there in the corner were a bunch of antique bottles. We got to talking and he gave me some that are duplicates in...
Havent been out digging in a month so today my son and I went out for about two hours after it had rained all day. Here is what we found. Anyone know what the large white thing was used for?
I bought some CLR because my bottles have a lot of rust stains and other crap that wont come off. Before I put any of it on my bottles I would like to know if it is safe? I didnt see anything about using it on glass. One other similar type of cleaner said not to use rust remover on glass. What...
So there is this storage facility across town that occasionally opens different units and sells the stuff inside. I guess its when the rent isnt paid or something. Anyway, my sister called this afternoon to tell me that there were bottles in one and she didnt know anything about them. Some she...
I think I've run out of stuff to find in this area. Might have to move on soon. This bottle looks very light aqua where the glass is thick at the bottom. Was it a soda or something? Also the spoons! I've got 7 spoons now...never found any other silverware before. Do people not like spoons?
Bought this the other day for less then a dollar. Thought it was cute...is it old? How old? I've never seen one before...any information would be nice!
I've tried cleaning them as best as I could. Some came out better then others. If anyone has any information on any of these bottles please feel free to let me know...even if you have a comment...dont be shy! [:)]
So Benjamin (my son) and I went digging again today and instead of staying where we had been digging we decided to chop down the massive amount of tumble weeds to get to another side of the giant hole we were in and wow....we found a lot of bottles. They may not be as old as I'd like but still...
My son and I went out this evening for a couple hours. Same place as the last post but better findings today. Here are some pics.
I was real excited when I dug this, the label was partly visible in the dirt but I couldnt read it...spent 10 or more minutes carefully prying it loose. Cut my...
Went back along the creek from the other day and found where some of the side had collapsed and well....wow, we found a lot of bottles. Also found a small metal 6 sided star inside a circle; might be from a necklace, two marbles and what appears to be a button from a military uniform, just has...
My son and I decided to try a new spot yesterday along a nasty area called Wild Horse Creek. We didnt go near the water, we just walked along the top of the sides where it appeared that people had once dumped trash. We found four bottles. Can anyone tell me about the embossed 7-up? All my...
Went to an antique mall today and found a section with loads of bottles! I picked out the olive green (?) bottle, a light blueish (aqua?) bottle, a bottle with spider web designs and a neat one shaped like a barrel that says "Barrel of Beer". The little jar came from the thrift store where I've...
Bought these yesterday as well as two cokes (not pictured) for 3.00. Wondering if these are old and how old they are? The two on the right are identical as far as the labels are concerned. The one in the middle is slightly different from those and the two on the left are identical as well. If...
Advertised in the paper was an estate sale that had Denver Crocks in it....so I went this morning at 7:45 AM and got in line at the front door with all the other early birds. Once inside the garage I saw the crocks. I've seen other people post their finds on here and I've never seen any in...
Bought another from a thrift store. Not sure if its old or if its anything worth keeping but it was only 50 cents and I thought the shape was neat. If anyone has any information on this then please tell me.
Got this on Wednesday from a second hand thrift store. I rarely find anything really neat there as far as bottles are concerned but this one caught my eye. It has a clock face on one side and says "good night" and on the other side it has an upside down star. The bottom only has three letters...
