r/BottleDigging

(Pic of what it looked like at the very end)

There were hundred upon hundreds of bottles all sticking out of the side of this cliff, lots of complete ones many were warped from fire and even more were sadly broken. The creek was full of broken glass shards. I gathered up as many cool ones as I could carry but there was a lifetime of stuff there. The glass pestle might be my favorite of the lot. Most of the bottles are dated to 1900-1950. Insane haul. If anyone is interested in more specific pictures I can get them for you.

Dug a shallow stone lined privy last night, pretty sure it was dipped at some point with how few finds their were and how mixed the layers were, but the age of the frags were too good to ignore and very happy i finished digging the pit. Found these 2 open pontiled bottles, a rare fruit jar also came out of the hole, was very surprised to find that one whole. Been mostly digging 1880s-1900s stuff in my area, so finding these was a real treat

Anyone recognize the label on this one? Near Liberty, North Carolina.

I’m getting mixed results from my personal research. Some say as late as 1880s-90s and others are saying early as 1840s. The tiny “DUPRE.” Is what’s tripping me up. Found in Saratoga Springs NY

Can anyone correctly identify this liquor bottle for me? Thanks!

Hello!! I went on my annual trip to Allegheny this past month, and there I found two LOVELY bottles, still fully intact. You do not understand the noise I made when I pulled this first bottle up and realized it was not just a neck, I almost wept it was so beautiful.

anyways! I've managed to identify one, but that was also just using google and I don't fully trust that thing anymore. The second bottle (amber) looks to be a Whiskey bottle made by Joseph E. Seagram & Son's in 1941. If that's incorrect pls correct me!! I love collecting bottles but I don't really understand manufacturing codes and such, so I could be misreading things.

The first bottle (clear) is the one I'm stumped on. I've tried to write what I see on the bottom in the one picture, but the wording isn't very pronounced and is hard to fully read. I can't find anything that looks familiar, and again, googling doesn't seem to help. It keeps telling me it's a 4/5 quart bottle but there's no wording anywhere on the glass that says that, so I dunno.

Any help would be appreciated!! I really just wanna know how old these guys are.

For the breath.

It has no embossing anywhere but I like the texture it has. Dug from a 1910s-1940s dump near Philadelphia, PA

Dug 6 whole druggists today and several fragments of others. Unfortunately the environment was not kind to them and most are cracked and pinged up. Also got some other cool 1880s-1900 era items. Got a very strange clear glass log thingy that I don't know the use of.

I struggled to find a use for the half bottles of Bauckfast until I found these 230V LED strips.

Found this hiking in the san bernardino national forest, next to what looked like an old cabin that burnt in a wild fire. Any ideas on its age? It only has one other marking on the bottom which was just a straight vertical line, or possibly a 1. The cork is what gets me thinking of it being old.
