new bottle digger

[yoters]

I have found a site that apparently was a dump in the late 40s early 50s. I assume this by the dates on bottles found there. I have found many (too many to pack out) 6oz Coke bottles. Several embossed Dr. Pepper bottles (clear and green). A green 7oz Lime Cola. I have also found several bottles with painted labels (acls?) but the label tend to rub off with the dirt. I will try to post some pictures soon. Could someone tell me, in general, what these bottles may be worth? Should I go back for the bottles I left? By the way, what does acl stand for? Can you tell I am new at this? Thanks.

Pictures added.

One days worth of bottles

Here is a picture of all the bottles I brought home my first day of digging. I actually left over twice this many at the site that were just too many to carry and duplicates of what you see here. I am waiting to clean the Sun Crest bottle until I find away that doesnt remove the paint.

Leave the labeled bottle in the sun so that it will bake the paint back on the glass.

Thanks Woody. That has me thinking. I have access to an oven used for powder coat type paint. Would that be too over the top?

You can try it.

Woody, Do you have any ideas to the value of the pictured bottles?

No, I don't collect soda bottles, but maybe Osia Boyce or some of the other forum members can help you out.

Thanks, I am looking forward to going back to the dump site even if they are not worth much.
