I love to hunt...period. It can be arrowheads, fossil sharkteeth, deer or sheds. Over my travels shed (antler) hunting I have come across a number of spots that had bottles. Mostly broken, some old, some newer...but sometimes you would see an intersting bottle. Well about a month ago I started to collect these interesting bottles and after a little internet looking have become quite interested in this bottle collecting...in fact I have already started my small and basic "collection". All of this has been strickly from the surface.
My questions to experts is when digging how far down do you generally need to go and is there a certine techique that works the best without completely busting up the bottles?? Does scraping or a heavy metal rake work?? I would love to get into some older finds and it would make sense the deeper you go the older it gets.
Thanks for any words of advice! Here are some of my finds from the past month....i know its probably all junk!![]
