Old Soda Bottles from the 1940s & 50s Found Digging an Old Bottle Dump - Some Weirder Things Too!

This week we decided to head back to that old glass bottle dump to look for cool old bottles. We found plenty of bottles and jars, but we also found some other oddities. Soda bottles, milk bottles, medicine bottles and canning jars are what you expect to find. We found all of those and more. Check out this video to see what we unearthed...

I’m from delco and I’ve been trying to find bottle dumps when I go out metal detecting

[@scottmorrow7552]

Some of those small milk glass jars have milk glass lids, they are harder to find. If you go back scratch around for them.

[@dirtsandandrocks]

@scottmorrow7552 - Thanks for the intel! I'll keep an eye out for them this winter when I head back there again, unfortunately dump digging season is over here in Pennsylvania. Too green, too ticky anyway, thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

@lizarrrdbeth - Thanks for that info. I checked it out on line and it looks like they don't use it anymore? Thanks for watching and the comment - Paul

if fact all those bottles are worth a lot on etsy, not of antique value but for crafting value, several hundred dollars worth there just laying around

[@dirtsandandrocks]

@spudspuddy - Carrying out two buckets of bottles was plenty for me. That dump isn't the easiest to access - lots of bushwhacking and it's at least a mile from a place to park, so we had to be selective about what we took. Anyway, thanks for watching & the comment - Paul

@@dirtsandandrocks ok didn't know where it was, i often sell dump stuff crafters buy bags and boxes of shards for mosaics, driftwood, broken glass, they can't be bothered to leave there houses lol

The bottles craze is so big broken bottles are half price in the antique malls and lip chips and cracks don't matter anymore. One KZbin/eBay site just sells broken and chipped bottles. The slicks also sell for five to ten people are using them in their towns the built on their property like the gas station or the general store. The broken shards of the uranium glass are high dollar 25 a lbs for crushing to dust and putting in paint. The other color shards are being sold for mosaics and color pottery shards all mosic art work. The old glass was made with better materials that's why the old Pyrex and fire king and anchor Hocking kitchen ware is valuable it's still not broken but all the new glass breaks right away. Sorry for going on.

@chrissettles4127 - Wow, thanks for the information.
