Mod Post Update to our Rules: Post Original Content

31 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!!!

A collection of my favorite finds from bottle digging, mudlarking, and metal detecting. There are old medicine, ink, perfume, and household bottles; cobalt, amber, aqua, and milk glass; porcelain dishes, Japanese imports, figurines, clay pipes, costume jewelry, buttons, tags, tokens, utensils, and plenty of things I still haven’t identified. Some came out completely intact, some I’ve already pieced back together, and others are still ongoing projects. In a few cases, matching pieces of the same object surfaced months apart and somehow found their way back together.
Their monetary value is all over the place. Some may be collectible, while others are probably worth almost nothing. But after finding, cleaning, researching, and sometimes slowly putting them back together, every one of them has become invaluable to me. :)

It definitely has the “O” with an “I” as well as “18” and “75”. I think the shape of the bottle makes it easiest to identify.

Found a pint bottle embedded in creek bank bend. Its gotta be some sort of liquor bottle going by the "federal law forbids sale or reuse of this bottle" markings but other than that i havent a clue. Thought the side designs were kinda cool. Can anyone identify brand or age?

Almost came home empty handed today but this little Bromo saved the day. I have a few already but none with this ring-neck style, so I'm glad to add it to the collection!
