Went MDing - Found Bottles

[milco]

I planned to go metal detecting today at some house demo sites, but nothin' doin' and no good finds at all in these small urban yards. However the demo workers unearthed a whole bunch of really nice bottles and I was the lucky finder. Unfortunately, I had to stand by and watch the excavator break up and bury a whole bunch more bottles that I could not get to while they were working.

Those are some nice old bottles :twirlingeyes:, It must have been hard to watch the plow smash them up >:/ :( :hairpulling: >:/

Some very nice looking bottles, must have been a shame to watch the dozer plow under the others. :hairpulling:

I don't even want to think about the ones you weren't able to rescue. :-\

Congrats on the great finds! :clapping:

:wow: Darren! Those are some cool old bottles! I'm no expert on bottles but I do know those blob tops are pretty old. Early 1800's I'm pretty sure :thinkingabout: Nice ink well too thumbsup01 And who knew they put snuff in glass bottles back then? Not me. :dontknow: lol
Awesome score! |:cheering:

It was not a privy that they uncovered, all the bottles were buried along the foundation wall of a house circa 1890's. They were literally falling out of the dirt as they were diggin out the foundation. Also saw a horse shoe, some enamal ware and all sort of things that must have been thrown in to backfill the foundation when the house was built. Yes the Hutch bottles date to the 1880-1890's time frame. Thanks for lookin!
