RE: 6-23-12 Dig in Texas

Dug for about 10 hours didnt seem to fair as good this week but it was 99 degrees out so with hard dirt and heat digging was slow
But here to waste a few minutes of your time is some pictures i took. So can anyone give me values on the Dr miles bottles i posted in first set of pictures and the 2 bitters bottles i dug this week? I dug a real neat on with weak embossing on it but broke it it was a California Perfume fruit flavors bottle. Anyone know anythign about it.
This was a nice cobalt no embossing but land owner have it

This one was differnt then rest it says new heart cure

Anyone know about what this pipe might be? It seems to be about 25 feet deep

Cant tell if that metal piece is a bumper or what im about 3 feet down and its more than 5 feet long i finaly got to tired to finish digging it out

Dont ask and dont tell lol

Are these common?

Anyone know what type of drugs where in the Dr Miles meds these people were drinking like it was booze or something.

Yea i found one broken panel of one and then i took a lot of time digging out what i though was another turned out to be a dang ol snuff lol. These two appear to be different molds for the embossing. Any idea of value on these or the Dr mile Bottles?

The PRICKLY ASH BITTERS are pretty common and should be worth $25 - $50 depending on the color / shade of amber.

Most of the Dr Miles I ever dug were common ones. I never dug the heart cure. But when ever I hear "Dr Miles" I think common.

thanks for the replies i figured the bitters might be only worth about $10 but since its not what i normally collect i wasn't sure.

Do not give up on that place. It is going to throw some good Texas bottles. It is one of the better Texas dumps I have seen found in a while. To everyone else it looks a bit on the new side, but here in Texas bottles from that time period can be very good. Keep after it man! If you are still digging in it when winter comes it will get much easier.
