My Last 5 or 6 Bottle Hunts

[scoundrel]

This river has been so good to me. I never get skunked. I found two more inkwells which puts me at six for the last year. And I just love these old blue beer bottles. I have over 100 now. Most of them are 1800s. I found a small apothecary bottle that had three and one oil in it. Three and one oil is a lubricant like WD-40. Funny to think that it came in an apothecary bottle with a cork. The two little brass tubes are old lipsticks. Enjoy the pics.

I haven’t figured out how to post more than 10 pictures so I have to do it this way.

Great bottles! If you want to put more in one thread you might need to host them on a third party. I use imgbb, free account and I haven't hit any storage limits. I just post the coded link in my forum post and my images come up. People can even click on them and get the full size image

Thanks for reminding me. I need to do some research on that thing. It’s got a name and a serial number on the back but I can’t find anything on. I’m lucky I didn’t break it with my probe, I thought it was plastic at first.

Hood's was one of the very first bottles I ever dug in 1969. Very iconic bottle.

Very cool finds! I tried to find something on that Gerino statuette/figurine, but couldn't find anything. The search engine kept giving me "Geronimo" and an artist from the 15th Century. Good luck identifying it!

Very nice! These bottle finds are almost as exciting as your Treasure Coast experience!

Believe it or not, it is every bit as exciting and rewarding. I am absolutely obsessed with this. I have an I have only been doing this for a year and I have an incredible collection of about 300 bottles now. And I get to keep 100% of what I find. If I was younger, I would go live in a van and hunt bottles 24/7 Lol.

That’s exactly what happened to me. Somebody thought it was special enough to give it a serial number though. So I’m not giving up yet. I might have to take it to somebody.
