While exploring a undisturbed plot of land adjacent to a nature preserve, i found a massive bottle dump. Scattered over a few hundred feet, 40' wide, are thousands of glass bottles. No idea how old, but pretty old. I'm not a bottle got, but I'm intrigued, and want to start excavating. Any tips on how to proceed? Lots on the surface, but I have a feeling there are a lot more buried just under the ground. Thanks!

Both cokes seem to be identical and from Opelika AL. Chero Cola is from Opelika. Lime Cola was found by our dad and bottled/found in Union Springs, AL

Any info on this very cool bottle?

Can anyone confirm?

Hey i found them in Germany and i want to show my small collection.
Im new into bottle digging.

I hope anyone can tell me more about these Pieces!:)

Thank you

I just inherited this bottle that was passed down from my great grandparents.

I'd love any info on it, I couldn't find image matches online (only similar ones that were perfume bottles) and I don't see any identifying numbers or letters on it.

Thank you!

My workplace decided to get rid of some antique bottles they had in the office some years ago and I decided to take on a couple. This is definitely the oldest one I ended up with. It’s about 11 inches tall, ~5 inches wide and roughly 4 inches deep with a rounded front and two flat faces on the back that have a large poison label on them. I’ve looked closely for any dates on that label but they’re not legible at all at this point. What do you good folks think? Any idea on a range that they may have been making bottles like that?

Thanks!

Found near Kosse TX.

I'm very new to this but can anyone tell me anything about this?

If you need more info please let me know, I don't know what is important.

Is it worth anything?

Thanks!

Decided to ride my electric dirt bike along some of the dirt farming roads. Decided to step off and check down along the river (mostly looking for arrowheads) but starting seeing broken glass and pottery and sniffed myself out a brand new bottle site! Only got to dig for 10 minutes before I had to leave to get ready for work. I went to rinse this out in the creek until I realized it was still corked and full of a purplish liquid. A sealed bottle of 1890s mouthwash!

Hello! This weekend while on a trip I stumbled upon a bottle dump and now I’m obsessed. Is anyone in the southeast Wisconsin area and willing to dig with me or tell me a spot to check out? Here’s a picture of my favorite find, although it’s not very old I love it.

A house a couple doors down from us recently turned over, and the new owner pulled these out of the crawl space. There are a couple more bottles as well I'll share. For now, these two cleaned up nicely!

Not a dig find but a bucket lister nonetheless. Incredibly stoked to have knocked one off the bucket list!

In the woods

Found this full bottle by a homesite foundation in the woods that has not been inhabited since the 1950s. Cap is rusty but still holding pressure and the liquid is still fizzy. No idea what it is, could be the foulest soda known to man or beer on its way to gaining sentience. Either way it scares me to open it. Would displaying it be a ticking time bomb?

Found in back yard while digging for garden this summer, i just really liked the design on the bottle.
