Let me first start off by saying hello to all this is my first post on this site. My name is Bruce and i've always enjoyed finding whatever i could when i traveled around in the woods. Since i was very little my father use to bring me back into the woods and we would check trash piles that we found hoping to find something interesting. We would keep some bottles but mostly we wouldnt pay them any mind. Lately i've got a new found interest and bottles and began searching in some local woods to see if i could discover some trash piles. On Saturday i was searching and stumbled across a big mound of what i hope to be just bottle after bottle. So far i feel that i've hit about 40% of the mound and i've loved every minute. I have attached a few pictures of my findings.

Now i don't know alot about these bottles like dates, value and such so feel free to share your wisdom.

Nice Poisons! Looks like you gotta few milks and sodas to. From the other finds, I'm gonna guess that this is 1920's/30's and newer trash. The Poisons alone make it worth digging!!! You never know what you might pull out of that pile... could be some nice stoneware or other stuff in there? Good Luck and keep us posted!

Welcome to the forums Bruce...I've done some digging in Maryland near Baltimore/Towson where my wife's from...Like those guys said,...Those three poisons are your best, but the age of dump you're in can yeild some interesting stuff...Milks, marbles, stoneware crocks and jugs, canning jars, late throws (older bottles)...etc. Thanks for taking the time to post your finds.

Welcome Bruce. I like the dairy bottles, especially the one with the face. Is that Jefferson? The Chevy Chase I think are a common bottle, at least in quarts. The cream top is nice too but I can't make out what any say on them. Could you get me a description of these?
The poisons are great.
The flasks I'm not so sure of. Are they "federal law..." post prohibitions.
Nice day for a walk, wasn't it?
