Was out detecting today and stumbled upon a trash hole where what looked like some one partied hard at. noticed a few bottles mostly broke. But two was not
Also I know where a few big bottle dumps are that have some good looking bottles intact. I'm not sure what to look for or even what makes them worth more.

Hey Tony,

These are mid 20th Century unembossed product jars made by the Hazel Atlas Glass Co. They have no collector value. Recycle them.

You want to look for embossed names and places, milk bottles, Mason jars, sodas, etc. Bottles in amber, green, cobalt blue are more desirable. Look around the Historic Bottle Website if you want to learn about old bottles.

Happy hunting.
