Bottle cache; 60 + and one barber

[the gambler]

I was metal detecting and finding nothing when I looked in this pile of dirt and saw numerous bottles sticking out. I recovered over sixty bottles and one barber quarter. Most of the bottles are blank, however I have three medicine or drug store bottles, each a different size and with different names and all with the same city and state. I was told they may be worth $100 or more and one soda bottle that has a different city and has value. The pictures of those bottles I will post later. Thanks for looking.

Great score! Where we've been hitting, it averages about one bottle every 16-25 square feet. Frustrating to say the least. Also, real nice clean up on the Barber.

It has a mint mark " D " but it's not a key date. The red book says in good 6 dollars.

Supper bottle find and barber. Some of the smaller bottles might be worth more than $100.00 if they are dark blue. Are there any that do not have seams? If yes, then worth more....great haul.

They are all clear and are around the early 1900's. I have four bottles that I didn't post yet that have the name of the business, town and state which I've had a couple of guy tell me $100 or more because the town is hard to find.

T-Net has a great bottle forum. A guy over there named Harry Prist and Road Dog can tell you what ever you would like to know about any bottle.
Great finds
