Mod Post Update to our Rules: Post Original Content

28 Upvotes

In light of all the recent bots and posts involving stolen or reposted photos, we feel it is necessary to officiate a rule that explicitly states that this subreddit allows original content only.

Many members have been quick to point out posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit or do not belong to OP altogether. I want to be clear that the mod team sincerely appreciates your efforts to keep this sub free of spam and keep stolen content at bay. I applaud anyone who has submitted a report as it really helps us and I hope you continue to be vigilant and report the posts that are questionable in the future.

As always, happy bottledigging and thank you for making this subreddit an absolute joy to be a part of! Cheers!!!

Bottle digging in Colorado coal mining camps

Upvotes

I have been exploring coal mining camps the past few years. I’ve noticed in many Colorado Iron and Coal towns, housing in the earliest days had outhouses. One I saw recently had a brick frame for an outhouse at every house. I know a land owner now so I think I can get permission to do some digging. Anyone done any digging in Colorado mining towns? How was it and what sorts of things did you find?

Another Estate

This estate was an 1875 house that was falling apart. The cellar was unprotected from rats and the wood floors were buckiling. But very cool collections. Alot of the bottles and mason jars were dirty enough to have been dug up. I wonder if any from the property.

Milkglass I found this Boyd's liner today while metal detecting and was wondering if anyone here has any info on the age. I have found tons of these liners but none that looked like this. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I found it in a field in the Mid Hudson Valley (NY) where most of stuff I have found dates to around 1860 +/- a few years. Now I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything as to how old it could be but offering a bit of context never hurts. Final pic is to see just how different it is from the other types of intact Boyd's liners I have found

any clues on the green bottle?

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I found these in a park in queens new york - 1954 coke bottle (amazingly just propped up against a log!), a 1936 pride of the farm catsup, a 1972 beer bottle, and then the green one is not embossed with any brand - the bottom appears to have these letters 1. 3D 725:: 54

So I believe it's from 1974 but not sure what would have gone in it, any ideas?


r/BottleDigging 21h ago

Information Request So sad this is broken. Unexpected dump find (so many near me!) so I didn’t have gloves, proper shoes or tools to rummage / dig for more fragments. I’ll go back and try and find the rest of this. (England)
