Hi and happy new year. I am a new bottle collector and am definitely enjoying it so far. I am also an avid fossil hunter, bird watcher, herper, and history buff.
Over the years I would sometimes turn up an old bottle while fossil hunting and kept some of them. These are usually soda bottles. Recently I was in an area near a local river and found some neat bottles. In addition to the bottles in the river, I found a stream that appears to have an old dump located next to it. Bottles are eroding out of the stream banks. Unfortunately in this location most bottles are broken.
I also recently found some spots in the woods near my house where people dumped some trash. I have pulled some neat bottles out of there too.
This site has been a pretty good resource so far. I am into the bottles because I like the way they look and I like reading about their history. Not really interested in what a bottle is worth. It didn't take long to figure out that the stuff I am finding isn't worth anything!
