Danny, the Brownie soda you found is leaning toward being a more commonly collected bottle than the other bottles you found. It is your choice what you collect though, everyone has different thoughts on what bottles they like and collect. I know a few people who even collect plastic soda bottles, though they don't have much of a history. Just saying that it doesn't have to be old to collect or even to be valuable. If you see any sodas with fully intact acls or deco sodas, pick them up, I would definitely keep those. Your rat poison is pretty cool btw.

Shoe polish! I have an embossed Ace brand, with the big Ace of Spades on the front. Hope you find one, keep digging!

How do you find a bottle that you don't know what it is

Just keep posting and asking. There are folks on here who are willing to help a new collector identify finds. I have dug dumps that go back to the 1880's and dumps that go back to the 1940's. I collect what interest me. Collect what you like. I have sold a few along the way in 40 + years of digging, but the bulk of my collecting is stored in a barn out back. My interest was in the digging, finding, and researching the history. I never considered the value of each individual bottle. It was just another one for the collection. I started collecting small surface dumps on my grandparents land and got hooked on the hobby. Good luck on your new hobby. Buster

Thanks allot I do love it... I wish I had started years ago... I've got two dumps I haven't even broke surface on,.. I'm trying to search the river bottom before the rain...

I posted this once before I know it is rat poison can you help me date it. It's never been opened I found it in the bottom of the river I been searching...

That rat poison had a 25-30 year run which ended in the 1970's around here. There are older versions , many valued highly, with whimsical brand names.

I just thought it was cool that the product was still inside.. I work so many hours it don't leave enough time to look.. All my collection total probably was gathered in about 50 hours... If I get a hour of daylight I hunt... I appreciate the help., I don't have enough knowledge of dating glass but I'm trying
