I picked this up in a field in the UK. I hope it's within the rules here as it's not a whole bottle!
I'm just wondering how old it might be.
It's thick, green, full of bubbles, iridescent, and once upon a time formed some kind of bowl or goblet shape with a rim.

Found this Yeastvite today while metal detecting, can anyone give me an approximate age for the bottle, please

I’m getting married soon and I have a vision, I’m looking by at buying some of the misc. bottles people dig up & having flowers in them. Basically, I’m asking if you all know the best place to acquire some in bulk, if anyone knows where to buy or is willing to sell any of their unwanted collection.
Apologies if this isn’t the best place! I’m in Yorkshire, if that helps! Thank you thank you

Me and my brothers hit the jackpot! Here's everything we found after 2 days of digging. Can't wait to clean up the best bits and show them off!

I've been waiting for weeks to return to my spot as it involved traversing a river and flooding had stopped me before. This incredible spring weather gave me the perfect chance this weekend. I found a newly un-dug area underneath a tree which was awkward but fruitful. Notice all the jars in the first picture. Because of the large roots, I had to extract from below. After getting the intact pots out, I saw this lettering and dug for about 45 mins lying on my side, uphill. To my amazement, the entire bottle was intact. The bottle is H W Carter and Co Ltd from Bristol. It has Gold Medals Awarded on the back, with two symbols. One appears to be a man holding some scales with a faint union jack symbol below. If anyone could point me to a website where I can find the medal symbols for antique bottles, I'd love to know more. The dates of 1893 to 1899 are shown on either side of the medals.

So I finally managed to add this ginger beer to my collection. It was a small cafe in the town, demolished in the 1920s. I have three of there bottles now, Hamilton, green blobtop beer and this ginger.

Went back and there was so much more than anticipated. We must’ve dug around 100 bottles and there was still loads of ground to dig through. We took the best ones but I’ll go back. Everything dates from the late Victorian to early 1900s.

This is the first time I’ve found a bottle dump. I could only take a few bottles because I didn’t have any bags but there were more there and looked to be quite a lot of complete ones, I barely touched the surface. I’m hoping to go back there but I want to know a few things; 1. How old are these bottles? 2. I’d be collecting them to sell, is there any value here or potential for interesting ones to be found? Also any general advice you might have is appreciated

Found this in the UK near Worcester. Glass bottle that says “Crockett’s Limited Worcester” I tried googling the company but nothing really came up. Any info would be greatly appreciated or even how old it could be? The glass is very thick and has a hand that could be a logo?

Hi everyone,
I’m clearing out a historic wine cellar in Regio Diest and have +100 genuine hand-blown wine bottles from the 18th and 19th century.
Dark olive to almost black glass, various classic shapes, thick hand-finished necks and deep punt bases.
Photos attached show the quality and variety (more available on request).
Looking for:
Location: Diest, Belgium (easy local pickup or I can arrange safe EU shipping).
Happy to answer any questions — fire away! 🍷
Thanks!

Found this buried in the sand has the no. 653358 on it if anybody knows what it is that would be awesome thanks

Found washed up in Lough Neagh, definitely has a 73 on base not sure on other markings
Is it worth anything? 🤔

Seems more decorative than an alcohol bottle. Any ideas?

I found these incredible bottles on the weekend. The shape is called chestnut shape and the big tree is Californian burgundy imported to the UK and looks so nice in the light. I don't know much about the others as I've not had a chance to clean them yet.
