Bottle Hunt Behind My House Today

[jeff of pa]

Since most of the Snow is Melted here And I was out Burning .




I Decided to do a little Hunting.
Everyone up here used to have their own Personal Dump Behind their House.
The Newest Owner of the Property, Has Cut allot of the Trees Down.
And did some Dozing.

Ground is still a Bit Frozen













I Believe Old Spice Bottle






















Glass I Couldn't Resist Bringing In.
Possible Cough Syrup





Medicine with Cork Remains



unknown soda , can't read top word



Wine Glass & sad Part, Looks like a Crack, Not a Bubble



Unknown White Glass, I'm guessing Face Cream but not Ponds.
No marking. All I Can find is "Vintage Cold Cram", But definitely Not "Happy Face"
Unless they are much older then the 70's
. Top is much Different


And a Large BALL PERFECT MASON Jar



That wasn't so Perfect



But will Do for my Rotted Zinclon Cache For a Park Buriel.

over Half Full so Far

Thanks All it's rare I Strictly Bottle Hunt.
and just as rare I Hunt out back.
I keep wanting to detect the woods also before the spring Growth, but


Sadly the Year is starting off like the Last few years.

I get out to Hunt & the next day The weather report Changes to look like this



by the time we get a good stretch to detect , the weeds have grown Like weeds

Jeff I found a bottle like the milk glass one when I was a kid in a bottle dump in the 70's. It looked just like yours except it was a pinkish color on the bottom part and white where the lid would have screwed on. I figured as well that it was some sort of face cream bottom.

 

[jeff of pa]

this has me wondering if it was a vintage

Apothecary jar. would explain the need for a deep lid

:P

 

[Locke]

Great bottles!

 

[texjim]

Glade to see you get out of hibernation up in the frozen tundra.. Neat bottles. If you have any questions on any send me pics My uncle will know. He's a bottle head.

 

[jeff of pa]

Hey Tex ! Long Time.... I was just sitting around Contemplating Detecting..

My guess in 2 Weeks I'll either be ready to start Detecting,
Or shoveling Snow.

The Triangle up here where my nephew got the reale & I got the Colonials
is looking Real inviting for Some Sunday hint,hint

 

[nsdq]

Hit it with the dirt rod too

 

[Whyme]

Very cool bottles! I need to find a bottle dump! Congrats!

 

[WHADIFIND]

Any kid who grew up in the 50's or 60's has to remember "Old Spice"
Congrats on getting out.

Remember!?!?

I still use that!!! It's a memory thing for me though. You see, I was smelling it for almost a century! It was my dearly departed father's favorite for most of his 90 plus years.

Thanks for the memory Jeff!

Ya know? I'd just love to share a "triangle" with ya! But, alas...not only am I getting old...so is my car. I'm getting close to where you were a short time ago with your old car. I can't trust it much anymore.

Ah well......

 

[WHADIFIND]

Oh yeah! And in case you don't know, this is a metal detecting forum. There's a whole 'nuther Forum for bottle hunting!!!

(DUCK!!!! INCOMING!!! )

it just has to be a " find:" from the day you posted it or at least
close to the day you found it.

Not a Gift, Purchase in a Coin Store or detector Shop or other place where you
knew in advance what they sell, and not just an interesting Story.

yea Trust in our cars at This age is extremely Important.
as Always, if you do find a way to head up this direction let me know.
Hopefully We can set it up where there are no Problems with a Meet.
a Word of Warning on the Triangle.

I Remember at least 7 of us hunting it over the Years.

I only remember My Nephew & I having Good days there.
My Nephew one (the Spanish Real)
& Me Large Cents, Colonial Cents, Indians, relics and 1900's Silver .
but I Live a half a Block away

most have walked away skunked.
and probably swearing to themselves
colorful things about me .

but it is along an old colonial site,, by the first Tavern
in the area,, and along the path from Philadelphia to Fort Shamokin
pre Indian wars Fur Traders, Indian wars [1750's],
forward through Baltimore Wars [1812] Draft Dodger Hideout,
through Molly Maguires [1870's], and Base Ball first half of 20th century.
and of course Play Ground for playing "Smear the Queer" etc. My early era.
and 21st Century, Labor Day/Memorial day people have set up to yard sale,
Mainly non Residents. Park Unload and sell for a day.

& I seem to remember at a very Early age a Tiny Carnival setting up.
The only thing Stuck in my mind from it was a Ferris Wheel.
but the rest is foggy like it may have even been a 5 year old child's dream.

in other words the Triangle has potential with a little patience and allot of luck.
