I am new to bottles collecting. My main collection is Pepsi & Mnt Dew. But I have a few others as well. I have been in the lawn sprinkler biz for ages now. Although we normally don't dig down past 2ft we still dig alot. Here in Detroit metro area there were alot of dumps that now sit under houses. Over the years we found quite a few bottles and just kept them in a box at our shop. Probably not worth much but still cool none the less. Here are some of them.

1. Amber lysol
2. Detroit Keller ink
3. Pipperment get (France)
4. French's mustard

These are all slightly damaged.

I have a John Zynda Beer Bottle from Detroit that looks a little like yours, don't know much about it except it is pre-prohibition.

Hello;

Good luck with your digging. With all the abandoned properties in Detroit, there must be lots of older dumps& privies to dig.
If I was digging in certain areas of Detroit, I'd be wearing a steel helmet & a flakjacket!!!

Take care;

Dave
