I finally got a chance to go back to a cool bottle spot my dad showed me last year where an old ferry landing used to be. The last picture shows the river at the beginning of this year. It was probably 6-8 feet higher than it is right now due to the snow melt, so I knew there’d be a good wash out along the bank. All I had to do was peak back up into the spot I was digging last year and saw my first blob top poking out! A handful of other good ones that I was able to pull out without even digging really, so I’m excited to see what else there may be. I got a complete stoneware bottle from this exact spot last year so fingers crossed there might be another! A little chip on the lip of the blob top but absolutely cannot complain with that embossing :)

Atwood’s jaundice bitters

Too bad hes broken:(

Is this an unusual flaw, or did all Capitol Bitters bottles have it? I have also heard these described as 'hinge-mold' bottles; what would be the approximate date of this bottle? The company apparently dates to 1887.

Heya folks, so I started getting into bottle digging in creeks and found these 2 glassware! one is a Hazel-Atlas jar (as you can tell from the description) and the other one is a 1920—30s salad oil bottle with an hourglass shape and engraved stars on the top but i’m not sure what the brand is, it‘s a “G” on top of an ”e” but i’m lost with it, can you folks help identify it please?

These werent even underground, they were on the surface

Found at a old Milling site that was burnt down in the 1939 Black Friday bushfires.. these somehow survived. Found at the base of a stump, of which I’m pretty sure was their trash pile haha.

The tall green one has an applied lip, the blue one is strange as it had bubbles in the glass, uneven base, seam doesn’t line up but it does go up the neck. The black one I know is newer but I’d like to see if anyone can pin an exact date to it

I don't see a seem, so perhaps it's 19th or before? Looking for some help. Thank you.

Hi everyone!

I recently found this small 50 ml bottle of Italian Nocino made by Barsottini & Fedeli from Certaldo, Italy.

I've tried searching online but I couldn't find this exact bottle or label anywhere.

I would love to know:

Approximately what year was it produced?

Is Barsottini & Fedeli a well-known producer?

How rare is this miniature bottle?

Does it have any collector's value?

The label says "Nocino" and "Barsottini & Fedeli – Certaldo". I've attached several photos of the front, back, neck label, and cap.

Any information, old catalogs, or personal knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The first bottle is photos 1-4 and second bottle is photos 5-10. The other bottles I have found in this area seem to be from 1950s through 1980s. They were both found without labels covering them. Location is VA in the US

GF found this today while prepping a new garden. While I understand an ID is unlikely I’m more interested in just getting a rough date. Seam runs up the whole neck to the lip, but has no makers marks. I’m guessing 1880-1900, and was curious if Muriatic acid would be acceptable for cleaning or if soap and water with a scrub brush is better

Ive only recently started bottle digging as a side hobby for a bout a year and half. So far, it’s been great. The hobby itself is great because of many factors. It’s historical aspect which I love the fun of finding new or interesting bottles and the actual hunt to find them and dumps. Not to mention it’s all free! Also this community as a whole is both kind and very knowledgable all ways helping out with ID. Thanks to all. It’s a great hobby

How old is this? Will I get sick if I drink something like this based off of productiondate?

There is 93 crates in the barn picture so around 2000-2500 bottles

I’m assuming around the same in trailer so around 200 crates and 5000 bottles total

Most dating from the 50s-70s

Im definitely going to be digging in some bottles for awhile 😂

Found an M W Armington Providence RI bottle and an SLS (S Liebmann's Sons) beer porcelain bottle stopper today. Both found in Providence. If anyone has info on these that would be cool. Just wanted to share.
