    I love watching Ben dig up the local Newhampshire pharmaceutical bottles. I've never heard or seen the Dunlap druggist from Concord NH. Great, fun video.

    I love the little blue bromide asprin bottles.... I think the environment was absolutely filled with them 150 years ago. I found an intact one- it washed up on the beach after a storm in Bridgeport, CT.
    There are a lot of bottles just off shore from the city, and storms often bring them up. Also on the bottom and occasionally recovered: those huge brown glass bottles that are like 3' diameter. Anyone know what they were for?

      They sound like what we call chemical bottles. Can you send a pic?

    Fun dig! I miss having a good hillside dump with no cap on it.

      Ben digs these steel hillside dumps where the cap layer pretty much keeps eroding and sliding off, year by year

    Want some old medicine bottles, try Cincinnati, around the sewage plant and rail yard, years ago it was swampy so they dumped surplus medical supplies most of which were WWI , but some of which date to civil war , ... a 3x4x4 hole produced 7 bottles ...

    That amber Whittemore is a lot rarer than the usual aqua or clear ones I believe.

    • @BramHepburn

      I agree! I hardly ever see them.
      Are you still digging this time of year?

      Oh yeah! Planning to go out on Friday, however I cannot share stuff yet on this spot. Have tons of amazing footage, and crazy stuff dug, but have to dig all of it before I can share it. @@BramHepburn

    And I tell everyone this screw tops started in the 1880s and 1890s it was more expensive at first so it didn't catch on for a long time. Screw tops are as old as corkers.

    You dont show enough. You have to do close ups of all bottles even the slick bottles and describe each one good or bad . Because in Illinois the bromis arev20 each. And slicks 10 to 20 each . Inks are 40 and go up.

    • @BramHepburn
      @BramHepburn  Рік тому +1

      Whoa! I wish i lived closer, Id sell my bottles out that way. I'll definitely try to do a botter job showing each bottle. My channel is 6 weeks old and im still working out the kinks. I want to show what people like to see for sure. Thanks for watching

    This guy should be handing you each bottle slicks or not. You should be saving all bottles embossed or not common bottles are the big money. All the shards sell in bulk packs . All the uranium shards sell more than rare bottles. You are leaving half or more of you profit at the dump . The small bits of toys and other nick nacks and marbles of course are all things that sell . The guys who build there own towns buy all the bottles slicks and embossed for shelves in stores is the saloons in the gas station mock ups . Museums also buy so people's collection or off the Internet. But for your videos you should be going over every item and bottles in a close up .

    Green bottles more valuable than blue .blue bottles more valuable than the brown. The browns more then the clear . And the green or blue shades of clear are more valuable than the clear clear. And broken bottles can sell for half price .
    All coke bottles sell for ten bucks or more fast . They always sell and any glass bottle. Same as Pepsi and several others. All hobble skirts sell for ten bucks no matter how common. And the more rare you make them sound the more you can charge.
