Good morning,

I recently purchased a property in Central Texas that was overgrown and neglected for decades.

Upon clearing the land, we’ve found hundreds of old bottles and cans. I hate to just throw them away if they are someone else’s treasure, but I don’t have the time or eye to go through each one. Any suggestions? I’m open to letting someone come dig but they would have to take away all bottles not just those worth something.

I’ve added pictures, but there are several just like these.

Good idea! Sounds like a win-win for some bottle collector in your region.
