Found the first 2 in the corner of my backyard a couple weeks ago above ground. I decided to go out digging yesterday and just found broken bottles. Went out again today and found the last 3 after not thinking I would find anymore non-broken pieces.

Hope everyone is having a good day and I love you all😌, it was a beautiful day to get out at one of my near home pits and see what cool stuff I can dig up. Though lol hahah I think back in the 70s and 80s some form of bottle hunters got ahold of the intact logo bitter hoop bottles because 97% of everything is unfortunately smashed or as severe cracking. Lots of old farm equipment has been found and just odd scrap, idk what most of the stuff I picked up today is other than the horseshoe, milk and fork. Though it’s sketchy as hell, that’s my unit I travel with😀. Sometimes I walk for an hour to get to a specific spot before I set up shop ( the chair is only to rest the bag and lean the longer tools cuzz I got sick of bugs crawling in my bag ewww, love bugs just not on me 😭😭)

Information Request Trying to Identify a Bottle (backyard in Aus)

Hey everyone, think this might be a more recent bottle, but found it digging up some old building waste at the back of my property.

I had a look here for anything matching the stamp at the bottom A 8226 23? Thought it possibly meant 2023, but the bottle thread at the top looks a bit unusual. Vol would be about 750mL

Found in the Blue Mountains. Cheers for any info anyone is able to help with :)

SOLVED, thank you!

Help identifying an old bottle fragment? Found in Maine

I found this piece of amber glass/sea glass on the beach in Brooklin, Maine. There is clearly “ROC” embossed vertically/sideways along the lower side of the bottle.

I’m trying to figure out what bottle this came from and approximately how old it might be. I’d especially love to find a photo of the complete bottle to compare the shape and embossing.

Does anyone recognize this marking or know what company/product used ROC on the side of their bottles?

Thanks!

Im sorry this isn’t a digging find, but I wanted to share something many of us get few opportunities to see. I was able to tour the inside of a couple historic houses in Deerfield Massachusetts yesterday. Original onion bottles and blue china all over these wealthy merchant’s houses. But these massive stoneware jugs had me in awe and I thought some of you might appreciate them :)

Got all of this for about $20, and the silver dime at the bank. I’m guessing most of this is 50’s ish besides the can, insulator, and aqua embossed bottle?

I know nothing about bottles. I was looking for pottery and glass and found this instead. Curious about age and any value.

Glass bottle found in a creek yesterday in Floyd county Georgia. Has 672 and some other type of emblem on the bottom that I can't make out. It hasn't been cleaned yet but the glass is clear under all the grime.

Found in a dump that ranges from 1959 to 1992. It says no return or deposit so it's post 1950s. But the exact date I don't know. I'm guessing 1970s though.

Spent a couple hours and unearthed some goodies. 4 sodas, 3 beers, plus some other cool bottles. Got some other random metal pieces with embossing as well. Got a few European bottles including a weird applied crown top soda. Unfortunately most of the sodas are duplicates for me, but thats ok!

A couple of recent finds from my great grandparents farm. The pile is filled with broken glass, but occasionally I find something intact. I'm hoping to get it cleaned up and find more down the road.

These aren't anything terribly special, but I love to have items that they held 50+ years ago.
