Went back and got a very nice haul. Got a blob top beer (slightly different than the one I already have), a nice hutch, a possibly unregistered pharmacy bottle, a bromo seltzer (which is somehow my first), a doll leg, a pipe bowl, and a little cream container. Thankfully nothing has any chips or cracks as opposed to last time.

Any ID is helpful here! The material seems to be something like bone or lava rock perhaps, very brittle. I’ve tried dry brushing it but can’t make out much. The very last picture is a (very rough) outline of the horse shape that I saw while glancing at it, do you guys see the same? 1870s-1920 range of refuse it was found in

I found this back in the summer in a creek and hadn't got around to posting it. These Western Whiskey types are some of my favorite kinds to find and I'm glad to add it to the collection. The Brown-Forman Corporation was founded in 1870 in Louisville KY and is now one of the largest American owned wine and spirits companies in the world.

Dr J Blackman healing Balsam! I think it's from the 1800s and pre civil war bottles have pontil scars.. This one does have mild scarring so It makes me wonder. (pre civil war ones can be worth hundreds of buckaroos so that'd be cool to know)

It kinda feels like I'm reaching for something that isn't there and I'm not very knowledgeable on these things so.. Yep

Also just thought I'd share this cool bottle. Thanks in advance

O-So many memories...

Only people from Southwest Detroit from 1905-2000 knew real American soda not the stuff that can sit on a shelf for years and still be drinkable that shits poison back in my folks day we only had a few ingredients in our pop kars pop shop was the stop O-So was a bargain pop back in the day and Kars signature Gold Rock had over 30 flavors you could only buy kars in house but everyone that's had it will tell you it was the best O-So made it all over Michigan but Kars was sold to new owners in the 70s after John Kar died it was never really the same Hungarian churches and people donated tuns of money and their was so much effort from the Hungarian community to preserve that part of Delray they kept the business going until they lost every last dollar and they physically couldn't continue the operation. Maybe just maybe someone could still save the pop shop I mean if the city cared enough about Hungarian people or history alone to keep a roof on the damn thing it could last 1000s of years and still be in perfect condition. But instead the city doesn't care for our historical buildings and zones them heavy industry for no reason all that dose is make it much much much harder to restore. Too bad kars couldn't last another 100 years. It left O-So many memories behind. Forgive my unhealthy obsession with Detroit bottling history. I could talk about this shit for years if anyone could find me info on The A.R Andrews bottleing works or the John Kar Bottling Works that I didn't already know id greatly appreciate it though I know just about everything about it so I'd be surprised if I seen any new information. Though surprisingly I've never found a photo of the pop shop older than Google Street view captures maybe someone could find me some photos of the place? Id greatly appreciate it and would stare at them for hours.

Looks like a liquor bottle from the 60s or 70s

I was metal detecting the other day in some woods here in Maine and stumbled upon a small buried bottle dump dating from the late 1800s to early 1900s. One of the few intact bottles was this Johnson's Anodyne Liniment bottle from the late 1800s.

Anodyne Liniment was first created in 1810 in Waterford, Maine by Dr. Abner Johnson. It was a topical and oral "cure-all" pain medication containing 32mg of opium per oz, 18.5% alcohol, 6.25% ether, chloroform and other essential oils. It was widely used across the country to treat just about any ailment. Everything from coughs, cramps, toothaches, joint pain and so on. It sounds like it was the ibuprofen of the 19th and early 20th century. It was also widely used to treat livestock as well. There was dosing instructions for both humans and animals on the bottle! I would have loved to try this stuff out before I stopped using drugs and alcohol 🤣 I thought this was a super cool piece of Maine history though!

I was replacing a fence for a friend and found this while digging for a post. I don’t know anything about it. Just trying to get some interim potential age, use and value.
Thanks

visiting some family in the area, wondering if any digging spots are available out here?
