Detecting and bottle digging in Alaska.
Went for a little detecting today and it started out a little foggy.
But it was a great weather.
I managed an embossed Lemp beer bottle.
First spot gave up a few keepers.
And the fog cleared up.
Today's digging buddy scored his first Amber export beer bottle.
Then he found his first mouth blown Catsup.
And at the second site he held for me to come video something, and it turned out to be the patented glass fruit jar lid from 1898.. Again a first for him and his oldest aged anything he has ever found.
And I'm digging nothing special.
Onto site number four and again he says come film this its strange and he pulls out this marked stoneware Ale bottle another first for him..
From Glasgow... How cool is that and in Alaska to boot.
And these are what I kept for the day's digs.
I did manage to find the first issue Prince Albert tin from 1907.
And the Lemp bottle.

Re: Detecting and bottle digging in Alaska.
Yeah, That Lemp bottle is a nice score, Not sure of age but gotta be around turn of the Century 1900. The Glasgow stoneware pottery ginger beer is extremely common with very little value but still fun to dig. Congrats. LEON.

Thanks!

Re: Detecting and bottle digging in Alaska.
Yes, but I just realized my clear glass bottoe is 12 ounce, so I don't the taller bottle at all. Well, I do have a taller one with a crown top, but Daniel's bottle is a few years older! Very cool.

Re: Detecting and bottle digging in Alaska.
The purple color is known as SCA or Sun Colored Ameythist from many years of exposure to the sun.
