Bottles found I think I have some oldies. UPDATED PICS MORE TO COME

[zaxfire69]

Well first off i am a metal detectorist. I happend upon a old brick foundation in the middle of the woods between 2 Early 1800's homes. All that remained were bricks. Scattered around the site were old bottles. I picked these up and brought them home to id them. There are 2 that have E.R. Durkee & Co New York. On the bottom of the bottles it has a diamond symbol with writing in it. And the words
Bottle patented April 17, 1877. They are in great shape. Also have a a Daggett & Ramsdall's Perfect Cold Creme Bottles. And a Stacomb Standard Laboratories white jar. Also have what I believe to be a 10 sided Ink well. Very heavy glass. Almost feels like crystal. Heavy. I know some of you bottle guys know some things about these bottles. Hopefully. There are lots more. These were just what I could carry out. I will get more as time goes on. AND hopefully some nice old coinage. Thanks guys.

I think About 1915 to 1930. The Soda bottle may be best one. Is it embossed with any writing? It is what is called an Art Deco soda bottle. From the twenties. The ink is your next best one. I would Like to see a Picture of the top.

Re: Bottles found I think I have some oldies.

Yes sir the soda bottle does have writing on it. At the bottom outside of the bottle it has Natchez, Ms and on the very bottom it says Nu Grape Bottling company. Now as far as the ink well it was found deeper in the woods at a site where I found most of the very old bottles. It is very heavy in weight almost like crystal. There are ten panels on the outside of the ink well. When you look at the ink well it has a small circle on each of the panels. Almost like it was hand blown. Good thing about this is all of these were suface finds. Just laying on the ground. I bet there are more where these came from.

The Soda is about 20.00 The ink has ground top so it was probable an ink well with a metal flip top. It looks like there may still be some contact cement around the edge.

A Bottle being worth $20. 1 bottle. Wow. I am heading back over tommorow and find more. I still love the ink looking bottle the best. Believe it or not there are more bottles out a this particular site. I am going back in the morning and taking a trash bag or two and haul more of them out. Also gonna take my metal detectors and hunt around the foundation of this house. See what I can come up with. Wish me luck. Also where would I go to sell these bottles at? Who collects them? Other than me now.

Great job on the finds and the site,may I suggest taking an old newspaper with you too wrap them in as you go.
Should be some great old coinage there to.

Re: Bottles found I think I have some oldies. NEW PICS UPDATED

Update. Here are some more pictures of this weekends outing to my home site I discovered. I dug alot of bottles this weekend...The crazy thing is I KNOW there are more there. They are everywhere I dig. I dug at least 10 bottles out of this one hole I am digging in the pictures. Not to mention the buttons, buckles and other relics I have recovered. When my wife gets home with the camera I will take a picture of the cleaned up bottles I have and post up on this thread. This is deep woods bottle/Relic diggin at its finest. I love it..

First picture is me holding a button I dug out of the hole.
Second is me with a Bottle
Third is some of the bottles dug.

You sure have found a great site there! I love the ink one myself...very pretty! Find more! Find more!

WTG! I love to dig for bottles I fell in love with bottle fetchin' when I would find old dumpsites while metal detecting! Now, it's like an addiction...but I'm slowly reciovering due to Indian Artifacts taking it's place..trading one for the other...ha.

Anyway I did a chat at a senior retirement facility last weekend on treasure hunting in my area...and the bottles were a huge hit w/ the residents

Nice bottles. When I go to an old dump, I take an extra bucket to haul out brokens. My way of helping clean up. Thanks for pics.
