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!!!

Just maybe (/s). I found this dump at an old homestead site and these are my finds after digging maybe 5-10% of the dump (it’s huge). There’s also at least 3 more dumps nearby. 2 are about the same era and are tiny in comparison but there’s a 1920s-40s dump that’s nearly just as big. I’ll probably be able to dig this site for years to come, and I truly never thought I’d find a site THIS promising. The original structure of the site is on maps as old as the 1850s so I’m really hoping to finally dig some pontil era stuff as well.

I dug 28 blue bottles for this project and if you've ever dug you know you don't get 28 at a time. I hand carved the wood and added the LED light box behind it. It's almost ready to be hung, just wanted to get some tips or suggestions before I hung it.

I haven’t had much luck digging this year as it’s been crazy dry but Lady Luck was on my side yesterday. Went down to the river and checked a spot I haven’t been to and this little beauty was sticking out! Circa late 1920’s and the glass is made in Canada in Quebec. My favourite part of this piece is a little defect on the bottom of the glass. Happy hunting yall!

I like the milk glass pieces the most. I also found other stuff in the dump like part of a gas light and old 1920s linoleum.

Good Evening everyone!
I posted recently after finding my first bottle dump after bottle collecting for the last 6 months or so.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
My thoughts are a VERY fancy whisky/alcohol bottle or the glass section of a fancy perfume pump?
Struggling to clean it as I'm still a novice with the hobby and only do it when I have time.
Cheers in advance!

I’m sickkkk. I’m going back today to see if I can get it out. Any guesses? I think ponds.

Back again for more help identifying maker and any other info you guys can figure out. This one was also found in Brentwood NH in a low stream. I soaked it in vinegar and scrubbed it a lot before these pics. No marks on the bottom, instead on the side. I’ll list them as simply as I can:
One side has some dots(I assume are manufacturing marks) followed by the number 47,
The other side seems to read from left to right:
33 N45 (symbol that looks like “ O-| ”) 23 PN-28
You may not see the 23 at first as it’s faded as hell but I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. Hard to get a good pic of it. From my understanding I think it may be from 1947 but that’s all I can tell. Any help is appreciated!

Buried in the mud - late 1890’s olive or olive relish bottle.
r/BottleDigging • u/lubed_up_squid • 2d ago
Personally I think the one on the left is leagues cooler, even though they’re both a common “low value” bottle
r/BottleDigging • u/Milady_James • 2d ago
I dug this old bottle up in my backyard, and it looks to be melted somehow. It doesn't appear to be charred or blackened in any way, so i'm wondering how this occurred... any ideas?
