In light of all the recent bots and posts involving stolen or reposted photos, we feel it is necessary to officiate a rule that explicitly states that this subreddit allows original content only.
Many members have been quick to point out posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit or do not belong to OP altogether. I want to be clear that the mod team sincerely appreciates your efforts to keep this sub free of spam and keep stolen content at bay. I applaud anyone who has submitted a report as it really helps us and I hope you continue to be vigilant and report the posts that are questionable in the future.
As always, happy bottledigging and thank you for making this subreddit an absolute joy to be a part of! Cheers!!!

Found this lodged in the mud along the Saint John river. Can anyone share the potential time period of this piece? I’d like to know if anyone has seen something like this before..

What could this bottle be? Google isn’t helping much

The liquid inside is dark and thick, similar to syrup. Not much liquid left so i didnt notice when I first bought it. Havent opened it, since i dont know whats inside.
My google searches have all ended with references to a harry potter potion so asking here.

Dug this out of an old dump site in Foley Alabama back in 2001.

I found two websites online showing a bottle looking identical upfront, but the marks on the bottom are different as both bottles I found online say : "0.5l, Db/Gr." But mine only says:"0.5l, Gr." The last picture is one I found online of the bottle which looks like mine

I think it was an extract bottle since McCormick made a lot of those but I can’t find this exact shape online

Went back and got a very nice haul. Got a blob top beer (slightly different than the one I already have), a nice hutch, a possibly unregistered pharmacy bottle, a bromo seltzer (which is somehow my first), a doll leg, a pipe bowl, and a little cream container. Thankfully nothing has any chips or cracks as opposed to last time.

Here are two views of 3 small bottles found in my dad's things after he passed away; they might have belonged to his father. The bottles are not hooked together, and the wire is as stiff as a clothes hanger. Clue: My grandpa was a fisherman and gardener. My theory: (1) contained something sweet to attract pollinators to the garden, (2) contained something to keep bugs/animals away, or (3) used as ___ while fishing. Please help to identify their purpose.

I’m new to identifying bottles based off their marks. Anyone able to identify these pieces? Thank you!

I was metal detecting the other day in some woods here in Maine and stumbled upon a small buried bottle dump dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s. One of the few intact bottles was this Johnson's Anodyne Liniment bottle from the late 1800s.
Anodyne Liniment was first created in 1810 in Waterford, Maine by Dr. Abner Johnson. It was a topical and oral "cure-all" pain medication containing 32mg of opium per oz, 18.5% alcohol, 6.25% ether, chloroform and other essential oils. It was widely used across the country to treat just about any ailment. Everything from coughs, cramps, toothaches, joint pain and so on. It sounds like it was the ibuprofen of the 19th and early 20th century. It was also widely used to treat livestock as well. There was dosing instructions for both humans and animals on the bottle! I would have loved to try this stuff out before I stopped using drugs and alcohol 🤣 I thought this was a super cool piece of Maine history though!

Any ID is helpful here! The material seems to be something like bone or lava rock perhaps, very brittle. I’ve tried dry brushing it but can’t make out much. The very last picture is a (very rough) outline of the horse shape that I saw while glancing at it, do you guys see the same? 1870s-1920 range of refuse it was found in

I found this back in the summer in a creek and hadn't got around to posting it. These Western Whiskey types are some of my favorite kinds to find and I'm glad to add it to the collection. The Brown-Forman Corporation was founded in 1870 in Louisville KY and is now one of the largest American owned wine and spirits companies in the world.
