While detecting a construction site I stumbled across an old privy. I've never really been into bottle hunting, but man was this exciting. Found well over 100 really cool bottles. Have no idea if any are worth anything, but it doesn't even matter. The rush of finding them was enough payoff for me. This is why I love this hobby. U just NEVER know what's gonna be in that next hole.

You found a lot! You can get each one identified here in the bottle and glass section. Some really good experts. Like the ink wells.:thumbsup:

Honestly I think I have more fun bottle digging it have only got to dig one privy but man it's so cool pulling intact bottles out as you go. It's a lot of work but really fun.

Nice finds. Looks like you hit a bunch of 1890-1910 era or so bottles. Typically very interesting . From a value perspective not worth a lot.

Very cool! Would love to stumble into a trove like that myself, usually happy with the one or two at a time I find occasionally. Nice work!

I do not have any knowledge of age or value of bottles. I do however have an appreciation for their aesthetics and visual appeal. That group, when cleaned and displayed nicely will be beautiful. Congratulations.
