Dug these 100 year old bottles over the weekend

[Leon]

Dug these down by the river bank in a town I grew up in as a Kid. These date to around 1900-1910 area. Over 100 years old

NICE NICE NICE BOTTLES!!!! Looks like I see a shoe polish and some blank medicine bottles as well as some bromo seltzer (sp?) bottles too! I got a 1800s bottle dump 3 miles down the road from me (actually 2 of em') If you want to dig sometime.

Those are cool Leon. Will they clean up or is the glass stained?

[bantam10]

I have an ultra sconic cleaning machine that works well,also denture tablets are a goog choice!

[Leon]

Just got mud on them, they will clean up. If cleaning the mud off does not clean them enough I got a bottle Tumbler & will tumble them, that will get them really clean. LEON.

Heres some in the ground pics, Pulling out unbroken 100+ year old beer bottles almost as fun as digging out buried cones in good shape

That tumbler works great. What kind of granular stuff do you put in?

[Leon]

I put in Silicone Carbide & then Aluminum Oxide. LEON.

Large Mason jar with 1858 Patent date

[Leon]

Everybody tells me this is my best find. A Back Bar Whiskey bottle with homemade white painted lettering from 100+ years ago. Probably from the local saloon. I've been told these are rare & can go for many Hundreds$$$

[Flat_Top]

This find just keeps getting better.

[Leon]

Still lots more to dig, I'm hoping to find even more better stuff. LEON.

[dumper5]

Leon, Your Out of this world!!

[Leon]

Lot of that white Ash in soil which I hear is typical of most good older bottle dumps & good sign. Thanks for tip on cheap cleaner, I'll try that. LEON.

[bantam10]

Leon I have seen your other finds on the other site and they are SWEET!!

[bantam10]

Too bad the whiskey has a broken top

[Leon]

I found the top left in he hole it came out of, glued it back on, Barely noticable.

[bantam10]

You can dig anywhere out where I live and find 100+ year old Mason jars because the farmers saved everything for so long, escpecially fruit jars. Few weeks ago I dumped an 1858 mason just like that in a 70's spot of all places.
