Bottle dump found at low tide (update)day 2

[birdman]

First post I have had a in a while due to work .I am with the family on vacation to Cape Cod.I bought a Fisher 1280x off of eBay for 204 bucks and it works well. It is a bit chattery in the salt water but it does find stuff. On the beach it does well. I have dug lots of clad ,a v nickle ,a buffalo nickle ,5 wheat cents and a 1946 rosie . The coins are all in rough shape. That was about ten hours on the beach and in the water. Today I was at waters edge at low tide and got a signal.I started to dig in the mud/sand and out popped a small pill bottle. I thought wow that is cool .I was still digging my target when I noticed broken glass .I slowed down and started to pull broken bottels out of the hole and then I found a nice medicine bottle that was whole.Man my heart was pumping and I ended digging pieces of animal bones ,a piece of an old boot and what I think is a metal creamer top and 6 more bottles out before the hole filled with water.If any one knows what kind of bottle the black one is please fill me in.It has no markings on it. The tide was filling my hole up quicker then I could dig it back out. The beach must have went out much futher in the past because you could tell this was a trash pit at one time and not just a place where bottles floated in and rested. I will be here for 9 more days so hope to hit the spot at low tide everyday when the wife don't have us booked up . We will be in Boston all day tomorrow and I know I will be rushing to get back to the beach.

Day 2
Well I hit the dump site today at low tide and found a few keepers but was dishearted by all of the broken stuff. I found three more unbroken bottles one more of those metal tops(they may be silver) , pieces of old shoes and more bones. I am gonna run some test holes tomorrow and see if I can find some more unbroken ones. Clam digging has been huge in this area forever and I think that is one of the main reasons for so many destroyed glass.

Did you rub that bottle? Wouldn't that be cool if a hot babe Genie popped out with some wishes!

Nice finds, I am just off the Cape at the corner of RT24 and 495 .... from the looks of things you have found a nice old bottle dump, must be an old house or two in the area ... As for the black bottle it is hard to tell if it is a barber type bottle, hair tonic and such or an old poison bottle, ... looks to small to be a wine or whiskey decanter, other possibility is that it could be a vinegar bottle one of a set, keep those tops you are finding they have a collector value...
Good Hunting !

Nice pharmacy. The dates are looking real good. You might unearth a nice poison soon.

Nice bottles... If the lids turn out to be silver that would be cool!!!

Cool post! One word of advice--you will want to wear gloves while you dig bottles at any location. I sliced my finger open (through my glove) at a privy dig. Next time, thicker gloves for me.


I look forward to seeing what you find there.

Two low tides have come and gone and there has been too many people around to dig. I am afraid that word will get out about the spot and it will get cleaned out. People dig clams at low tide every day which makes it hard to get to the loot. I still have a few days to keep my eye out.I dug some test holes yesterday in other spots with no luck so I am breaking the detector back out today with hopes of more trash pits .
