New collector. First dump site!! (Pics)

[solitarycanary]

I started metal detecting. Kept finding bottles. Learned about bottle digging researching a small collection I inherited.

Went out Saturday to explore an abandoned property with a chimney remaining on it. On my way back, I began seeing a lot if broken glass. That's when I found the very deep creek. Bottles everywhere! The creek bed is very steep and you cannot hardly walk on it because it seems to be made of glass. So I grabbed what I could. Will have to make several trips. Everything seems to date 1930s to 40s. The last 3 pics are items I can't identify. If anyone has any guesses please comment.

I'll take pics of site next trip.

Hello Sabrina,

Welcome to A-BN and the joys of digging old glass. Dig deeper...

You're showing a polish, another polish, and a shampoo here.

Make sure to dig deeper! Once you hit the 20's you get the nicer stuff!

Thanks guys I'm trying to learn the types I've got the dating part down. I know these aren't super collectible but I know I'm close to finding some good stuff over there. There's a privy about 50 feet from the creek. And a trail of odds and ends from the privy to the creek bed. I think I'm going to get a probe and see if there's anything in the privy. Pray for my husband lol a he will be digging if there is!

nothing too incredible looks to be a standard 40's -50's era dump site , i've dug a number of those myself and don't usually find much hope to find some older dumps this spring that yield older bottles .

the bottle beside coca cola in first pic looks to be a " royal crown " pop bottle maybe
