Today's Hunt 6/20/26

Hello everyone, I went out for a couple hours today. I only kept a small amount of all that I exposed. While I wouldn't say anything was spectacular. I always welcome any blue glass. Some of the other finds were interesting, atleast to me.

Thank-you! This spot produces alot of stuff. The more rare and valuable stuff always seems to be broken unfortunately. But I am usually able to bring some decent glass home each trip.

I have always been amazed at the price specific bottles will bring. Many years ago, I when I lived in Kansas City, I attended an antique auction with my mother in law. The highest value reach was of all things, a whiskey bottle from the late 1700s. I don't remember the sale price, but it was well into the 5 figures. Why on earth?

I understand where you are coming from.
People have different interests and passions. They like what they like. I have seen people pay exuberant prices for many things I would never consider dropping a dime for. But to each their own. As far as old glass is concerned, it is a piece of history. And the bottle from the 1700's i would say is probably pretty rare. Especially if it was completely intact. I myself like to field collect all my treasures. I have bought a few things in the past that I felt I would probably never find on my own. After awhile they don't hold the same interest as the items I have found with my own blood, sweat, and tears.

Love those Cobalt Blue bottles. That is my favorite color when it comes to glass.
