Blob-Top Trifecta (May 2nd 2023)
Went back to the 1910-capped clay pit bottle dump that I have been extensively excavating since January. It is very difficult digging but the trade off is the bottles often come out in great condition. In about two hours of digging I recovered three blob-top beer bottles, one tooled lip med, and...- UnderMiner

Typical Dig
This is what the finds from one of my typical digs look like. Most bottles date from the 1910's-1920's. It is difficult to break through to the 19th century, as I'm sure most of us already know the mass production of the early 20th century lead to alot of cheap and disposable glass.- UnderMiner

Digging a river, anyone else have experience?
I've been digging bottles from the Charles River for a while now. It's been off and on but recently I've ramped it up and gone several times this past week. My questions revolve around the current, clarity, and digging. This part of the Charles is safe to swim but the current is relatively...- FreeRangeAsparagus

Help - possible dig in my own backyard
OK so serious newbie to digging....but I have a strong suspicion that a portion of my backyard was some sort of dump. That part of my property meets an old, designated alleyway and many of the homes around me are 70-120 years old. I routinely pull up bottles, bottle pieces, etc. from the ground...- spencerbottleguy
