Dug from my bottle dump.

[Copperhead]

I attempted my first real bottle digging in the yard today, I don't think I broke anything I dug, maybe nicked one of the Atlas jars , ended up with a full 5 gallon bucket of broken stuff though, and about 10 other plain jars/glasses that I didn't post..here's the pics..If anyone can estimate a date on something it would be appreciated, I'm still trying to get an idea of the age of the dump. I only dug about a foot down, and there's definitely more below this. Cleaning them is gonna be a whole other story. Thanks for looking...

Thanks for the link gypsyheart, the little jug says PHROSTO...and the pic of the one by itself says CLYCO-THYMOLINE, 3 FUILD OZS....nothing on the other bottles..

Look for Speas U-save-it jars. they look similiar to food jars and are only marked on the bottom.Some of these jars bring good money.

I would say dump date from about 1910 to 1930 . You may still find some good stuff in it. May be some good late throws. DHG

Pepsi bottles from this time period also bring good money.

Those crown top bottles look like 1930s - 1960s Keep on digging as the older bottles may be deeper..........................

Thanks for all the replies..Being new to this whole bottle/glass thing is making me nuts. At least with coins everything is pretty cut and dry...but all the different types of bottles, jars, etc. makes my head hurt. It's frustrating not being able to go to one book and find what you dug up. I'm trying to learn all I can and appreciate you all taking the time to reply to my posts...even if what I find is nothing special....
