- I have been NERDING OUT over old bottles lately. Something about the awesome colors, embossed letters, and timeless design really gets me excited. So I went to a site I have been going to for years, and have found old bottles from the late 1800's in the past! There are also some fossils here, so just a really fun place to look for treasure in the river. Hope you all enjoy the video!

What a honey hole!! Awesome spot. You should defentaly make more videos like this, its still fossil huntin 😁
Loved this video
What a beautiful blue bottle
Great finds. Brother thanks for sharing
Dan
Appreciate you watching Dan! That blue is definitely incredible.
I wish I had rivers like this near my house
I'm on a hill above the west fork of the White River in central Indiana.My brothers home is 60 or so miles south on the main branch of the same. "riverrats"😄
Usually the glass company will stamp the date into the glass. Sometimes on the side but usually on the bottom. It will be two numbers very small indicating the last two numbers of the year. It’s not always the date but I would say 90 percent of the time it is. Great video bro. Keep it up.
Old bottles are fun to find because they are often each so unique, and I always wonder about the people who used them, like the one with the morphine-laced teething medicine. Thanks for looking up the history on them!
I love thinking about all the same things! The history is so interesting.
On the blue bottle, “CHAS” is an abbreviation of Charles. Bottle hunting was a nice change of pace.
yup, old school name abbreviations
Enjoying your videos. When I was in my early teens, my brothers and I used to do the same. I was walking one day in a creek in Bowling Green, Ky. I almost sliced off my left foot stepping on a clay pipe. Didn't feel a thing. My older brother had to carry me. So there is more to worry about then just snakes when walking barefoot. Now at 65 I miss every damn middle of it. Ah good old days!
Looks to be 40s or 50s check for the date code on the heel or bottom. The pre 20s ones are all cork tops.
On the very bottom it says "made in USA" with a 3 on the left and a 6 on the right. Maybe could be 1936?
Wait, it looks more like a sideways 9 and an M?
@@WILDKYLE It may not have a date code but 1936 is possible for that style. Still pretty cool to have survived all those years.
Okay I think found it! Found a page with tons of info on these. This one looks to be late 1930's to 1950's.
For sure! This thing is in great shape after rolling around a rocky creek for so long. Love the blue color!
The Barclays Bourbon one pint bottle and that blue MOM bottle is awesome!
Here is interesting story.......In Russia, many bottles were reused over and over again. People would put them out neatly by door and someone would collect them for little money. The beer company would set up collection point on street and sometimes cheat people saying small scratch or chip on bottle. They would take to be filled with beer to resell bottle. There were also trucks with tank of beer that would set up shop on street and sell beer with glasses that would be reused over and over without washing between customers. There were also vending machines, but you returned the glass to the machine that would lightly rinse it.
Love all the videos, Kyle.
I recommend you check out a woman over the pond. Her name is Nicola White and she does mudlarking on the River Thames. She is so informative about bottle finds etc. Her channel is awesome!
Thank you Heather I will definitely check out her videos!
I found an old glass factory a few years ago. Know the older bottles are heavier. Colored bottles were used for medicine. The water/juice one is a cool one! The beer bottles sometimes will say you can only use it for its initial intent. Pepsi coke bottles will be heavy too. ♥️
We realize this is an older video, but this video just came up on our suggested vids because we are subscribed to you. We often watch on our smart TV where we cannot comment, but I had to log onto the laptop to comment. We wanted you to know we LOVE your channel! Your content is right up our alley...fossils, old bottles, and other old stuff. We especially enjoy your presentation. You have a such a pleasant manner; you are engaging; and your head holds a wealth of information for someone your age. There are other channel with content we are interested in, but we can't stand to listen to them. Keep up the great work!
Yes, I love seeing people finding old bottles.
Great video, Kyle. When I was a youngster, my cousin's and I would walk the creeks around Rome and Calhoun, GA and we found fossils, Civil War bullets, Indian artifacts, bottles and salamanders and such. Keep up the bottle and fossil videos!!!
I'd definitely watch more videos like this one! So interesting what people leave behind and always good to clean up the environment!!
An olive bottle, old whisky bottle and some great relics & fossils! Many from the 1930's to 50's and the corker early 1900's. Take care and H.H.!
Thank you Brian!!
Fairly certain I'm addicted to you and PaleoCris's videos. Loveeee the content.
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that ✌️
Okay, Kyle, now you're in my territory! I love bottles--digging privys, creek hunting, dump digging--they are treasure! Maybe not ancient history, but history nonetheless. Please feel free to take us bottle hunting anytime!
Awesome glad you like this hunting also! I hope to find more sitrs to do this at, it's very new to me. I am quickly becoming obsessed and learning a lot! I really love it!
Hi Kyle! The first bottle, the one that says water/juice- we had one in our fridge from probably the late 60’s to the 80’s. I’m not sure if this is right, but I think prune juice came in it it originally-I enjoy your videos very much-every year we go to SW Florida and spent our whole vacation hunting sharks teeth on the Gulf. We’ve got at last a couple thousand! No Megs- yet-I’m pretty determined!! I’d love to find some of this sand roads y’all find teeth and fossilized shell.
Thanks for the info on that green bottle! It's pretty cool to me. Keep on looking and you'll find that Meg! I'm glad to hear you have enjoyed the videos. I hope they keep the fossil fever burning!!!
Bingo!
I used to dig for bottles in old dumps. It was great fun so I enjoyed your video a lot. I live in an area with a river and it's tributaries. You have inspired me to get out there this summer. Keep it up!
Some great finds! Love the pottery with houses on it. Beautiful location too! Would love to see more!
Haha "this is snakey" ..ok ..offically love your work. nice haul. very cool water bottle, I remember the blue milk of mag bottles back in the 60s..you have inspired me to go hunt the river not far from where i live. So fun to walk along just waiting for that thing to make itself known..found my best arrowhead in a dry creekbed..I hope you are feeling much better..thanks Kyle🐦
Thank you Anne! 😄 I hope you find some awesome stuff. I am feeling much, much better! I got out today and was able to film another video of finding cool old bottles! I will probably be posting it Monday 😊
@@WILDKYLE yay, looking forward to it..you take it easy, eat good & take your rest, stay warm and dry (when you can) these flus are not to be trifled with..cya monday🙋
Love love love old bottles. My mom and I found a bunch one time out in our woods where people had been dumping their trash for decades.
I love the blue bottle and the green bottle. Your videos always look fun. 😁
Thank you! 😄
A nice relaxing day in the water. You found a little bit of everything. I'm still catching up on your older videos. ✌❤☺🙏
I love your channel! Everything you do I find very interesting. My daughters and I are going to go walk the river now. Thanks for inspiring us!
Awesome! I hope you find some awesome stuff!
Love the blue bottle.
They apparently are pretty common, but I am still going to be excited for them! They are beautiful!
Amazing video kyle ....I think its good that you and criss go back there youll find a lot of things....take care 😘😘😘
Thank you!!
Beautiful blue glass milk of magnisia bottle.....:)
Awesome video!! that water jar is very cool! the river bank is amazing! that kobalt blue milk of magnesia is nice!
Awesome video, Wild Kyle! You remind me of me when I was young! Keep on keepin' on!
I was looking around eBay, and I found out that the Barclays bottle from 2:25 is half-pint whiskey and the bottle dates back to 1940.
Love bottle hunting. Keep um coming
Great video, very interesting, funny guy, enjoy watching, keep making them. Thanks
Awesome finds, wonderful bottles.
9:03 I am in love!
Great video love seeing the scenery the tree with roots all showing was great 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hello just started watching your videos and I really enjoyed your videos I really like the bottles and the rocks on the ocean my favorite have a WONDERFUL DAY and GOD BLESS you 😎👍
Like when you do a creek video. Enjoyed this one. Two thumbs up.
Troublesome creek...cool area
I really liked this video. I think hunting for glass bottles is fun. Totally impressed by that blue bottle!!
Thank you Sarah! Glad you enjoyed it 😄
Love ur finds , blue bottle is gorgeous !! My fav too!😍so yes please share more like this...its all good what u do and share , thank you😃
I have that green water bottle sitting in my fredg right now. It was my grandmother's fredg growing up. 1960s
That Barclay's bottle is an old Whiskey bottle that usually sells online for around twenty dollars without a lid.
Vintage Fridge water bottle,😁✌️
Love bottle hunting. Keep it up
Love finding the cool old bottles! Never specifically hunted them looks fun
I love it man! I want to do this way more often haha. I am becoming addicted.
@@WILDKYLE Well I have access to a bottle dump in Tampa from a guy I know who is super into it. Let's go dig it sometime.
Kyle that was an excellent video it's kind of nice beautiful scenery gorgeous River nice and clear. It's always amazing what you can find there's all sorts of stuff out there buried in the sand. Sure you can do some more of these when you have the time
Great video Kyle! I have a pretty cool antique bottle collection I inherited from my grandparents. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
That's awesome! I bet there is some incredible stuff in the collection!
Very cool , I like the blue one too. We found a glass dome in the woods before that was on top an old telephone pole . Pretty cool
Awesome! I love blue glass. It is beautiful!
My fav, I have a huge collection at cobalt blue glass , dude I even have blue plates and bowls . Probably too much haha
Glass dome... Insulator. Lots of colors. Lots of people collect them. Around 6 bucks each where I come from. Oklahoma
Wildkyle..where u been my whole life!!!! Love the vid.. mixn it up!! Even faves get boring but adding this and that makes it interesting!! Keep mixing it!!! Oklahoma arrowHEAD
Thanks so much! I love to try new things to keep it interesting!
Cool
I know this video is old but I Found the same bottle
In my yard. A Blue Phillips milk of magnesia bottle with the cap still on. I’m in northwest Florida. Great find.
I wanna go hiking/ cleaning with you! Looks like a great time!
The blue bottle 😍
Good video Kyle.You should have sung Georgia while you was walking up the creek.lol.
Great video dude! I hope you didn't reach in for that bottle laying in the old tire. When I was a kid visiting my grandma in Cochran, GA., I was almost bit by a cotton mouth when reaching for a bait container laying in a tire, snake was curled up inside the tire.
Thank you! That is horrifying. I don't think I grabbed that one out. I don't typically like reaching my hand in places like that along the river for the same reason 😬
BEAUTIFUL
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
💎💎💎
No idea you had a video like this!!!! I love these kinds of videos. Old bottles, Pottery shards, old things found in rivers and on beaches are my favorite. I love all your videos but I would definitely love to see more videos like this. Have you checked out Nicola White on here? She’s a mudlarker in England who literally looks for anything super old and pretty and just awesome stuff when the tide goes out on the Thames in London. Awesome videos she makes and the stuff she finds! You’d like I should think. Hope to see more videos like this in the future!
Glad to know you enjoyed it! Thank you! I will definitely check out Nicola White. Her channel sounds awesome!
I never understand the mentality of dumping in a river. It's not like the river will wash it away. Anyway some great finds and for once I don't have to be envious as here in the UK we get some really nice bottles and likewise lots that at one time contained some sort of opium.
It is a shame seeing all the trash 😞. I have seen many nice relics from the UK! You have awesome stuff over there!
Definitely enjoyed the vid Kyle, any kinda treasure hunt is fun. Use ta have a couple ol' bottles myself, just somethin' cool about holdin' somethin' so old an fragile. Here on Vancouver Island, when I'm at the beach I'm always searchin' for beach glass, the thrill of the hunt. 👊
Can't beat the thrill of the hunt! I love finding any kind if old treasure!
Great video. I was surprised. I also watch these kind of videos.
Those are some amazing finds. Great videos as always! I really enjoy watching your videos, as well as Cris’. Keep it up.
Thank you so much Emily!
I’ve got one almost identical to that blue one 👍🏼😁 Thanks for the adventure!
I love the old bottles!
I am becoming obsessed!
I noticed that you got a hair cut 💇♀️ 💇♂️ it looks good on you !! Great finds 👏 and thank you for making me laugh 😆 your so silly 😜 on to your next video 📹
I'm diggin this video!
I appreciate it Rich!
How can you tell prtrified wood from plain old wood? Nice video......thank you....
I have a milk of magnesia bottle just like that, they display great on shelves.
holy cow what great finds. I love the nature shots.
Thank you Lynn! This is a beautiful place!
Enjoyed the video well done
That's it, i'm gonna go bottle hunting now!
Mooooore 😍
Planning on it 100% ✌😄
Checking out some of the older videos! I want old bottles....I want petrified wood!!
Cool finds! Mrs Winslow's mix of opiates & alcohol caused ppl to call it "the baby killer." That MoM cobalt looks WW2 era. Cobalt was in short supply b/c of the war and the cobalt bottles from those years tend to be a paler blue. Also, there were few or no screwtops in 1906. Might be a year code on the base. HH
Thanks so much for the info Charlie! I think I got the MoM bottle dated to between the 1930's - 1950's after some research.
Loved it! I enjoy anything that combines history and treasure hunting. You remind me of Andy Bernard 😂 also I just moved to northern Tennessee would you have any idea what kind if fossils/minerals I could find out here?
Hahahaa I love Andy Bernard! Huge compliment for sure ❤. I have never hunted that area, so I am not sure 😥.
Some of those pottery pieces aka plate shards could date back to the 1700's to 1800's.
Your the best keep up the great work 👍
Thank you so much 😄
More more more!! 😁❤️
Will do! 😄
Love your videos keep up the great work
Thank you Michael!
Hey man, I live in Dublin Georgia and have some great untouched large bottle dumps from the mid 1860s-1950’s. Reach out if you would like to come!
I wonder if that Barclays is like a prohibition bottle
The really tall cylinder jar thing is an old olive jar
Ahhhh okay cool! 1920's - 30's or later?
Cool 😀👍
Right after you found that blue looked like there was another blue bottle in upper right right before you cut away from it.
Awesome im more of a fossil guy but i like these too. Also i know u already have alot of variety but have u ever considedered doing a vid on ammonite hunting
I would love to go ammonite hunting! Going to have to travel pretty far for that, so it might be a while!
@@WILDKYLE yeah i have the same issue i only have cambrian-devonian stuff here in ny. But hey orthoceras can be found and thats an ammonites precursor
That's a awesome find
Thanks man!
That's awesome man! I didnt find too much for my last video lol I was in a new spot tho
All part of the thrill of the hunt!
That it is. It was beautiful tho
Here in the UK those milk of magnesia bottles were cork topped until late 1920s only then were they screw top, you sure that’s the age dude?
Looking like this one is 1936!
Cool - love your video.. Regards makdiver from Denmark.
I have been collecting petrified wood since I was knee high to a grasshopper.
Good hunting, bud
I wanna go find petrified wood so bad lol but it's not here in central Florida
Dude, one of the biggest pieces of petrified wood I ever found came from the Peace River! But yeah, it definitely isn't as common down there.
@@WILDKYLE damn. Yeah I've always heard it isn't old enough done here or whatever to find petrified wood. That'd be sweet tho lol anything is possible I suppose. I gotta get up there in north Florida/Georgia sometime
Over in the UK they call it Mud larking, I watch many a larking videos on UA-cam
I follow a bunch of Mud Larkers on Instagram. Love that stuff!
in the 39s there was a water bottle put in new refrigerators........
I have that milkamagnisha bottle it is the same one
I wonder why we dont find more glass bottles here in nebraska.
Maybe the population wasn't very high back in the late 1800's - early 1900's?
Your green water bottle was originally full of prune juice.
Hi again Kyle. That bottle is a beautiful blue. Could I buy that one off of you please? Please?
That cork top isn’t a cork top. It’s a vial for seringe Medicaion
