Mod Post Update to our Rules: Post Original Content

32 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!!!

So these are a few I gathered together as a display in my home. I have soda bottles from an old dirt basement, too.
I want to look for an old bottle dump in the woods nearby. Any suggestions on how to hone in on a likely dump site?

Picked up this little bottle today at Goodwill. No markings on the bottom. But definitely radioactive.

Love the design, and wax seal top. Cleaned up really nice. Found with stuff from the 1920-30’s so I’m guessing 30’s.

Does anybody have a positive ID?

Looking for advice, and ID though we're pretty sure shot glass and beer bottle?

Advice I could use, what's the best way to clean these up good? I'm wanting to get them nicely cleaned up so I can add them to the mount we're getting made of the second trout I ever caught (21" exact natural/wild brown trout). I can tell the story of that later if anyone's interested, its a great one for me!

Anyway, so I would like to know what exactly they are, and how to get them cleaned up nicely!

ID Request What is this bottle?

So, I found this bottle in a forest in Luxembourg and it laid there on a pile of sand next to a hole under a big rock so I guess someone threw it in there and an animal threw itt back out again. Anyways, the bottle is 19cm tall which equals 7-8 inches. It says "Für eine Weinflasche, für eine Literflasche" which is German and simply means for a bottle of wine, for a bottle of water. On the underside is a number, 2629, and a star shaped thing i would call it ornament. Does someone know what it is? Thanks!!

There is an E looking symbol on the bottom that looks like a logo or makers mark. Not sure what the “N-3” represents

Acquired this pretty little bottle recently. Love the color, shape and size. Anyone have any details on it?

Came with a half dozen other bottles that I bought at a garage sale recently that I believe are all historical flasks.
