I'm new here, but have alot of old bottles with some knowledge, but not much, I'm more of a coin and precious metals kind of guy, but I love anything old of value and with no value. I have alot of old bottles, some somewhat melted, some not, but all are whole, i even have some with the tops on them, and some medicine bottles with the medicine dropper still in them,some marbles, coke bottles, almost anything I can think of. Here is a pic of bottles and other things I found just yesterday, and a rock thats looks alot like a petrified turtle. Any knowledge and info would be appreciated. Thanks and GOD bless.

alot of back yards were dump sites especially in rural areas if there was no where else to put the stuff or it was more convenient

I know they made experimental amber cokes to see if it extended the life of the product. I was told they did make some amber hobble skirts but they were only in the south and southwest usa. Maybe part of the experiment. I also could have been an irradiated.
