Two bottles found in the middle of the woods, what are they?

The larger glass bottle has a 36 stamped on the bottom, and dots on the bottom side, it also has molding lines which means it can't possibly be that old.

The smaller bottle has a textured bottom with the numbers "18" seperated by a circle that looks kind of like a face and "95" with 11 BW-2 under it.

found this glass bottle embedded in the beach

Hi reddit!

i found this perfectly preserved glass bottle embedded in a deep layer of dirt and rocks at a beach near newcastle NSW Australia and was wondering what it is. There is text on it saying: “recyclable glass 15437”, “Q no refill JL” and the number 56. It also had definitely been there for a minute becuase it was filled with grass roots I’m young and know nothing about this stuff but was thinking maybe an older glass or could be a beer from last summer lol! If anyone knows i’m super curious!

Worth continuing ? Or mostly junk?

Hello, I’m pretty new to metal detecting and also very new to bottle detecting I was digging behind my new house cause I was getting a lot of very high signals, and where I live after about a foot, it gets very clay like and so I just kept going because I was getting high signal. Found these all within a foot of each other, almost 2 feet down, and then was rained out and my hole filled with water. Assuming that this wasn’t the class, but I did have a lot of signals that would indicate coins or the like. With these bottles, typically just jump or this seat something that people would have coins in or any information is It’s helpful.

Thanks

Utterly baffled as to why my great aunt had these in her loft. What do I do with them? They’re Victorian. United Kingdom.

Questions about finding a dump.

I found an old dumpsite yesterday. It was totally by accident. My daughter had softball practice and I had two hours to kill, I literally walk across the street from her school into the woods and boom there’s bottles laying everywhere. I am newer to this hobby, so I was like oh heck yea. My question is most of why I found seemed to be from the 60’s. I only dug in one spot due to time constraints and so much being in that spot, but I’m wondering if I dig deeper, do you think there will be older things?

Does anyone recognize these two marks?

I found this broken bottle in a creek near Atlanta. It is clear glass with a 23 underlined on the bottom, knurdling (?) and the two curved lines on one side. Just curious if anyone knows what it used to be. Thanks

Vintage NEHI bottle?

Found this bottle recently and I haven't been able to find others like it, I only see the embossed rope ones. Anyone see one like this or have an idea of what year it could be from?

How to dig in an area taken over by invasive bamboo

Hey! So I posted here a lil while back showing whet I had found in a spot in the woods near my property. Most I what I had found at that point was on or near the surface and very easy to get up. As I get deeper I am running into the problem that is bamboo roots. They are everywhere and so hard to dig through without just straight up hacking them. If there any method yall would suggest to get through the roots without potentially breaking or damaging any bottles or other artifacts beneath/tangled up them? The only thing i can think of would be some type of pressure washer to remove the dirt leaving only artifacts and roots however that would be nearly impossible so it a last resort. I have a gardening knife as well as a small chainsaw for the slightly bigger stuff but I accidentally broke a beautiful bottle as a result of this. Here are some pictures of the site and the roots. Would appreciate your help!!! :)

Looking for info

dug this from my backyard, near Lake Erie Pennsylvania.

the bottom seems thin and delicate, and a little rough at the bottom. it has a smooth side where a possible label would have been placed? and has a very old metal lid. any identification or age would be very much appreciated, Pennsylvania is so full of history.

Wanted to share two of my prized possessions!

The one without writing has a iridescent shine inside it. I wonder what was in there.

The other says BELFAST / CORRY
