I came across a bottle dump this AM. No apparent cellar hole nearby but a current house about .5 mile away. These bottles were just sitting on the surface. I'll start digging down when I go back. One bottle is embossed "blueing" and it still has the dye in it!

Wow, these are wonderful old bottles, Drew! It's unusual to find them unbroken. Any ideas on age? I would guess early 1900s.
I bet there are more there!

Thanks Tony! Yeah, I was guessing turn of the century. I haven't looked at a dating site yet. I hope there are more, I've only scratched the surface (literally). Yesterday's were ON the surface, today's were half buried, just below the debris.

I see a Davis bottle and a ringneck medicine type , looks to be 1890's to 1910 era for most of them bottles Drew , but keep at it you might snag an older pontil type .

Thanks, Dan! I'm hoping they get older as I start to dig. It seems to be a very small dump, everything is in a 10x10 area. Lots of shards and cans too.

Nice finds Drew! I had that happen to me a few years ago & filled up my backpack with them. Weighed a ton and took longer to get back to my car. Definitely early 1900's.
