    glass man, thanks for the info about the shoe polish bottle. I didn't really think any or them were worth a lot. But if anyone has any Tonsilene bottles for 1.00 i'll take all you got. Penny

    Recent finds and some ?'s

    i accidently posted this in the wrong place before, now i'm going to move it here. The little green bottle in the front had an eyedropper, it was patented 1934. The bottle on the far right, might it be a chock vitamin bottle? I like the little jar with the textured sides, probably newer...

    picture of recent finds and ?'s

    The little green bottle in the front had an eyedropper, it was patented 1934. The bottle on the far right, might it be a chock vitamin bottle? I like the little jar with the textured sides, probably newer but anyone know what it is? Is the liquor bottle worth keeping? I'm still trying to...

    Maybe a digger would help

    I had some small luck finding interesting jars in a dump sight. I posted it under the jars forum because they are jars but i only got one response. I didn't want to post it in the wrong place, but maybe the jar forum doesn't get as much traffic and i don't want to post it twice, being new...

    CB antenna as probe?

    I got one of the old springy ones and cut it off and wondered if it is made of spring steel. I tried it in the creek last year but it it was spring steel i didn't know how to correctly use it plus when i tried it in my one and only privy dig, it didn't penetrate, that dirt was real hard. I...

    Hello RED Matthews! Thank you for the reply. I looked on the bottom. I placed a quarter on the round circle thing and theres room to spare around the edges. There are no swirles in the circle. There's a kind of a line part way through it, almost like two scratch marks close together...

    Please help with two jars

    The green one is a half gallon Ball Mason, and i found it near an old abandoned farm house. I took close up of the top to show the seams and maybe someone can tell me approximate age by them? I did little search and found something about the seam running up the side all the way to the ring, but...

    CB antenea probe?

    The antennea is a whip type about 8 feet long so i cut 4 foot off the bottom to have the thicker part of it. The spring attachment thing is still attached and that makes a good handle. I don't know if it'll work or not, the whip seems like spring steel. Anyone use anything like this for a...

    Old Home Site

    Hi Rhona, Thank you for looking at the pictures, but as stated, finding the privy was just luck. Persistence, but i can't seem to stop. I lay awake thinking about finding old stuff i could prob buy at a flea market instead of working my butt off, but it is FASCINATING! To answer your...

    Old Home Site

    I'd also like someone to explain how bottles got dropped down the toilet. It looks like maybe liquor bottles would be dropped out there, like if some one went out there to sneak a drink. Or, maybe pop bottles if the kids snitched a bottle and went out there to drink it. But i don't see why...

    Old Home Site

    I quit digging because of dripping sweat so bad and my abdominal muscles were cramping and my fingers too, so i had to come home and take a bunch of potassium pills and gatorade. here's the two bottles. Does anyone know what they might be? I'm guessing the green one is a caugh syrup and the...
