I realize this is probably not the correct forum for this find,but my original intent was to detect the demolition of an old house. While waiting for the track hoe to complete the job I was just watching and as the old foundation was removed a nest of bottles fell out, So being the pack Rat I am I recovered them. WOW! They are old.. mid to late 1800 soda bottles all from different towns around my area in SW Iowa. I was able to salvage 12 of the Blob Tops but witnessed many others get covered up. Too Bad, So Sad! Any way here is a picture.

A big collector item it seems.

Wow! If you weren"t a bottle collector before, then you're off to a great start.

The thimble I found was flat and aluminum so probably not much value. I do however have about 10 sterling silver and 2 gold, probably plated, and several old brass ones. Have thought about selling them but have never per-sued it.
Thanks for the comment.

I'm what you might call a pack rat. I have several old bottles but not a serious collector. If that were the case I would have about a thousand different collections. Was a nice group to find.
Thanks,
Bill
