Recovering Relics Episode #24 - "Bottle Digging The Old Beach Dump"

Today, I was joined by my cousin, Parker, for a bottle hunt at the old beach dump. We were there looking for old bottles for about two hours and we both managed to make some cool finds. I found a couple old bottles, crown top sodas, and a few jars. My cousin found a nice Coca-Cola bottle from Detroit, Michigan. We headed over towards the pier towards the end of the hunt, and we both started to find coins. We ended up with a lot of coins. I found a boy scout neck slide and a wheat penny from 1941. These were just lying right on top of the ground. I had a fun day with my cousin and we both found some nice things!

not to crash your hopes,, but most of those bottles didnt look 50 years old. i suppose if you went in a distance under that pier , you might get some good bottles 1900ish or so. GOOD FIND ON THE BSA TIE HOLDER SLIPRING!

@ricglos Yeah, I know most of those weren't that old. I like collecting them though. I have found a few older bottles there before, a couple from the 1800's.

Thanks! I was lucky with that neck slide. It was right on top of the ground so I didn't even have to dig! I'm sure you will find one soon! HH!

@ricglos 50 years old is 1962 - that seems about right - - 50 years isn't as old as it used to be...
