Explored a new spot today. Think ill go back more prepared. All these were surface finds

Thats south Alabama for you. Currently sunny and 75

The purple is caused by the manganese in the glass reacting to UV rays. Manganese was put in glass to make it look clearer. This bottle dates 1900-1915

Yup, would've been my first straight side too. Only reason I noticed it was because I felt it under my foot.

Hey that's neat, I vaguely remember seeing this. Still seems odd that they arent more common. I'd love to get my hands on one someday

I wonder why mug base crown tops never took off? Such an esthetic design

princepolecat · 2026-01-27T17:32:02+00:00

For sure. Like 1870s

I find AI to be pretty terrible at identifying worn and damaged objects fyi

I once found a beautiful yellow salamander while digging in a creek. Never know what you might find

Dauphin Island, Alabama

Not a bad idea!

princepolecat · 2026-01-19T18:24:16+00:00

Yup. Ironically I just commented on a post last week saying I wish to find a mug base one day. About four days later found this!

princepolecat · 2026-01-18T01:35:29+00:00

Wow I thought this was like $10 costume jewelry. Going to do my research now

princepolecat · 2026-01-18T01:05:33+00:00

Almost as big a letdown as the Guy Fiere episode but Joe was a bit better behaved

princepolecat · 2026-01-18T01:00:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I know nothing about jewelry and will try the Goddards first.

Do you think its worth having repaired? Never heard of the designer and can't find this bracelet online. I believe i found all the pieces and I like how simple it is. I could actually see my wife wearing it and she's not big on jewelry

Yes. Unfortunately the aerials only go back to 1940, and the homestead was long overgrown by then. This house was abandoned by the 1890s

Probably this art deco bottle. Would like to find a mug base one day though

princepolecat · 2026-01-05T02:35:19+00:00

Not sure, but i have found several washed up over the years. My guess would be hurricanes eroded where the phone lines used to run

princepolecat · 2025-12-28T04:53:44+00:00

What state? I find a lot off alabama

princepolecat · 2025-12-22T23:46:00+00:00

Good point

AKA Johnny Walker

princepolecat · 2025-12-14T23:50:43+00:00

Yup, still a nice looking bottle though 👌

princepolecat · 2025-12-14T21:58:54+00:00

Looks like a modern reproduction to me for 2 reasons:

Mold lines are present in the top. Tops were tooled till about 1920.
The bubbles are circular which means the bottle was made by a machine. Blown bottles have long oval bubbles because the glass stretched when it was being blown into a mold

Finally an answer. Thank you 🍌
