Here are three hand-blown bottles that I found, one today and the others earlier in the week. The extract and medicine bottle were found in the bank and the Bromo-Seltzer bottle was found on the ground but these have almost certainly been my best finds so far :).

Great bottles, really like the cobalt...you can find bottle brushes online that can help clean up the insides. Good luck finding more!

Thank you, For me though the real prize was finding the bottle at the top which is the "E. Hartshorn & Sons" medicine bottle which, after doing a little research on the company found that it is not a very common medicine compared to the Bromo-Seltzer.

Hello farmdump. Very nice specimens, those look pretty old, and good job on the pics. Bottles can be tough to photograph. HH C9.

Thank you, hoping to go back out tomorrow to try and find some more stuck inside the riverbank because I'm sure that where there's one, there's bound to be more.

I love finding bottle dumps...I enjoy digging bottles almost as much as detecting...
