Was child proofing part of the yard and had to dig up a s#it load of glass. Lot of old hand blown stuff, quite a few intact pieces. Threw em all out while cursing the people who had thrown em there. Guess I should have kept them...
Nice video and you tube channel!! Checking stuff out. ;-) We buy/sell/collect/ etc etc.. we have a wide range of stuff as well.. we will check back soon on your channel for updates. ;) ..have a GR8 week.
Those stoneware colander looking things could also be for seperating lye to make soap. I saw a large jug at a bottle show recently that was full of holes and that's what they used the jug for. Hopefully you can find out for sure. They are really cool pieces. You have to remember that back in those days making your own soap was a common practice. Thanx for sharing and keep on diggin' Swizzle
Nice bottles guys! Did you ever find the other piece(s) of that tiger stoneware? I can only imagine what you must have found in the 30 minute episode!
2 year ago we had a big flood,and the rain washed out the old dump by the river.we found blue glass,old doll heads,everything a 1900's dump has in it........love your videos:)....keep'um coming...thanks
wow that video was awsome! im twelve and i love bottle digging in the river in my backyard my friend and i have 4 coke bottles 10 oz prier to 1970 and one from 1951 - 1958 I also have canada dry products cott ginger ale bottles par t pak ginger ale bottles a silver spring water co bottle and a braewood club beverage soda bottle a pepsi glass embossed 8 oz bottle an old glass listerine container college inn embossed soup jar a porcilin suacer !!! its the best bottle hunting spot ever!!!!
Guss-Thanks so much! I think you are right, as bits of charcoal was lodged into the holes.....One I found with a hole in it came from "Somerset Potters Works"....
We don't really know much about it, sorry. We were hoping someone else out there could date it for us. He thought it could possibly be pre-civil war, but who knows?
That's great! It's easy to get hooked & that might be the start of a new collection. I dug my first bottle at age 6....but I also metal detect & do fossils as well. It 's all treasure :)
web site is not done yet, but I have been selling videos though W&E treasures magazine. We have sold over 200 so far....thanks for asking. I'll e-mail you Pay Pal info.
im not a relic hunter , so my question to you guys is,, how does this stuff com to be in the area at the river your taking out of? is it a dump site or what?
thanks for clearing that up for me,i think what you are doing is totally awesome! i lived in Vermont and new Hampshire for many years and i thought the history and relics were way cool. i wish i stayed...
Thanks for all that great info. But what was wierd was the one I found said "BOSTON" on it, not Providence. Maybe they had a Boston bottling plant too? Interesting....
In the meantime, Hanley was also the president of the James Hanley Brewing Co. and John E. Good was the owner of the Providence Bottling Co. In 1906 Good quit the business with Hanley and devoted his time to his bottling company only.
In 1907 Hanley took on Gustave F. Mensing as a manager for the Providence Brewing Co. and Mensing soon became its secretary and treasurer. They were producing Bohemian beer, ales, and porters of the finest quality.
Another nice vid Bill. I found this out about that Providence bottle you found, not sure if you have researched it yet or not.
The Providence Brewing Co., formerly the American Brewing Co., was located at 431 Harris Ave., corner of Eagle St., in Providence in 1896 with James Hanley as it's president. He was joined in 1897 by John E. Good who became the company's secretary and treasurer.

How do you find these bottles? Do you just go to an old water source and just reach into the water?
