the cokes are various ages but the dump itself goes back to the mid to late 1800's...... hubby got the quad from the court house..... gotta love being a surveyor

if any one might have an idea as to what the thing with the american flag on it is, would love to know.....

I like that drugist bottle. Its sharp. My house was built in 1920 and while detecting my yard, came across a bottle dump. Everything from the old clorox bottles to small cork top pill bottles.

Congrats on the finds....Oh...BTW ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!...sorry had to do it....lol

holy cow..nice digs...the straight side cokes I've seen upwards of 250-300 each. The drug/med bottles are all nice and worth a nice hunk. especially to someone who collects meds from that area or certain druggist bottles in general.

the other embossed bottle, S.H. Johnson is nice too..people like to pay for those because it's a small bottling company that's been out of business for a long time and the name of the city where it was bottled is on it.

the lea & perrins anywhere from 5-30..depending on the condition.

If you want to sell them, I can help you with that. The bottle message board I'm on has hundreds of people willing to spend nicely for solid bottles...

Hit me up if you decide to liquidate.

btw..the cokes date from 1902-1915...very desirable...

Sweet screw back military pin. Looks like a WW I US ARMY INFANTRY COMPANY E COLLAR DISK. Might be missing a number above the rifles

nice bottles

i like the harris bottle and the food jar

When you get to the very bottom of the pit/pile, you then will find the real good stuff. Nice bottle finds. On the very bottom you may find clay jugs and other pottery.

IMShooter · Jan 20, 2012

I concur searcher...that's the best part..finding a bunch of cool stuff...and then hitting the really good stuff at the bottom. Like pottery/crockery/handblown pieces..

Awesome bottles. My father owns property that used to be part of a small city dump in the 10s or 20s. We've been picking bottles since kids. So much fun!
