Finally I think I found it

[glass half fool]

Noah I do not know how old the green piece may be BUT I have been digging this site for about 9 months now I am just now getting down to a spot that is more than 4 feet deep I found the Banjo Player flask and the green top in very close proximity depth wise and distance apart . It was the first time I ever found anything that color in 40 plus years of digging It might be just by chance that they where close to each other . I am of the mindset that finding them close together is a sign there are more of bottles and glass of that age group yet to be found Time will tell

Thanks again Noah Looking at your 2020 totals it appears you have been having some success also .Because I like history I have had an interest in digging for quite a while now .Mostly I would locate a few items and move on.About 5 years ago I found a spot that had a good number of bottles from the late 1890 thru about 1930 .At the time they where the oldest I had ever found .In researching one of them I found t.net . I spent a few years just checking in once in a while .i saw how well many of the t.net treasure hunters did .And it was clear to see how much fun they where having So finding this forum was maybe my best find one could say This spring I put together an outdoor display of just a few items I have located in the past few years I call it my junk junk bench I made the bench from a few dead cedar trees and them used it as a back drop for items that are mostly just rusted items I have found while in the woods

Neat bench! And thanks! My 2020 totals are pretty much just from February and March... I had a great two months but haven't been out much since bc all my favorite fields are planted.

I'm fortunate enough to live on an oldish property from the 1860s or 70s and there's been dozens of bottles picked out of the creek in years past but they were mostly newer, I'm just starting to find some of the older goodies!

Thanks A2 .Yuo where the first one from t.net to give me any recognition when I first join tnet.I am still a greenhorn and often a hack at knowing how to do things and also don't know much about some of the things I have found . That s why I say all you guys are awesome. You all take the time to help me to learn

"Avoid the heat" was my thought for the day .I was able to go about the time I hoped to leave yesterday I arrived about 9 AM That is certainly not early but better than what i had been doing the last few weeks After about 1 & a quarter hours I was toasted . I drank 2 gatoraides and a water during that time .Plus another bottle of water on the way home While taking my breaks I decided to sit on the shade side of my truck on the ground The number one thing I took home was ticks I removed 30 plus on the ride home and after getting home and doing a thorough inspection . Did I RECENTLY SAY BOTTLE DIGGERS DO IT FOR THE FUN OF IT?? I found a few small items yesterday The small brown one nice .And to add to that I had just in the last several weeks found a similar in a larger size .Also while not all that old the small clear pitcher is kinda nice also . I hope I can get back to dig again tomorrow and over the weekend also Thanks for looking

A2 always has something nice to say, a lead that more folks in this world need to follow.

A cloudy day yesterday brought temps down to the high 70's With that in mind I arrived at my bottle digging site late morning Even with the lower temps I had brought with me more water and other drinks than I had the last time out.I continue to be in the moving dirt more than looking for bottles mode. But once in a while I slow down and hunt more careful So while I did not locate a single bottle I found a few other items of interest A pipe that is in real nice condition, a piece of brass horse harness hardware what I guess was a handle to a spoon with some markings on .I will check that out at a later time Plus a few other odds and ends These items help fill in around the edges how the people using this dump live their daily existence.

Another hot day made me dig slow with lots of breaks and wiped out in less than an hour I am calling this one the long and the short of it The one was about 12 inches long the other about 3 inches short I was uncovering lots of interesting broken glass this afternoon .Perhaps the nest trip will be more productive

 

[glass half fool]

It is hot today but it might get worse before it gets better so I going out to dig for a little while I plan to put up a tarp to create a bit of shade Hope it helps It seemed like I was getting into some good area as I was finishing up the last time I was there and that has been eating me up 90 DEGREES RIGHT NOW

 

[sandchip]

Don't let that bear slip up on you!

 

[glass half fool]

The general rule of thumb is you only need be faster than one other person I was on the track team many years ago Not that it would really help me Plus when you get old like me you understand that need to resort to guile and trickery from the very start No bear today

During my last two digs I found a few small bottles But not anything out of the ordinary for what this site has given up so far . However I did find some things I never saw before . On the attached picture is a fragment of a piece of what I assume is Cobalt Blue glass It is the first time I have ever seen that color while digging .I actually have another piece that was nearby .And than on the Aqua piece it is very thick glass and a different shape from anything I ever located while digging. What I have of it looks older than normal for this site and the brown item I GUESS is a glass button .Does anyone have any information . I have a long way to go till I have uncovered this site and I am still trying to figure out just how old the very bottom maybe Thanks for looking

 

[NJKLAGT]

The aqua piece is the top of a blown cone ink, probably 1885-1900. The cobalt blue piece is the top of a machine-made ink from around 1905-1920. The black button is either made of glass or jet, I've found one or two of those buttons before, I think it was popular to wear them while in mourning.

All good signs!

 

[glass half fool]

Thanks for the info I thought that the aqua piece looked like it was the oldest of the three And the button is kinda cool no matter how old it is . It amazes me that someone can spend hours looking at broken glass /pottery /rusted metal and dirt and pick out stuff that just looks a little different I also found 3 porcelain stoppers One is not like any of the 20 some have collected over the years Thanks again View attachment IMG_0797.jpg

A few weeks ago I had a post stating I may have found my oldest bottle ever .Well today I think I found my smallest bottle ever. In the picture is the bottle I found today on the left side is a .22 caliber long rifle for comparison sake and on the other side is what had been the smallest bottle I had ever found until today On the one side is embossed Vicks and on the other is Drops

Nice one! Maybe a sample bottle of Vicks Vaporub? I found one sort of similar a few months ago.

 

[madde]

Wow, there were alot of stuff there. Nice found!!
