I unearthed this nice bottle at my mine.
Not sure of the age or if it has any value but it's in excellent condition and I have a place for it. ![]() I cleaned it carefully and well using techniques that I researched online. If anyone knows old bottles... I'd appreciate any insight as to what it is. Looks like a soda bottle. ![]() The glass is relatively thick and has a nice light lavender or amethyst coloration to it. The lettering "Kuner" is raised and beveled. Here are a couple pics. ![]() ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

The exposed material was all broken up but digging in the mud quickly produced whole bottles.

The exposed material was all broken up but digging in the mud quickly produced whole bottles. Woody, sorry haven't been back on for awhile due to holidays. Those photos of the Georgia site look very interesting! I've done quite a lot of digging on the east coast and Georgia has produced some of my better finds. There is a lot of history to be explored there and bottles can be found from Revolutionary war to the present day. Bottle collecting is a very interesting hobby and can even be rewarding monetarily. Once you're bitten it can become a large part of your life, just as prospecting is. One of the best sources of information about collecting old bottles is your local library. There are numerous books available that will help you to be able to identify the age, type, and possible value of bottles you find. Like most hobbies the research pays big dividends and is rewarding in itself. You'll want to eventually build your own library to have the information close by at all times. Good luck to you. |
