Ok on subject of :drinking:

<center>never under estimate a crown top bottle either :lol:
This is a Mohawk Pepsi-Cola bottle story :D
Mohawk for being in the Mohawk Valley :) and the rest you know.
I found a few of them in my bottle dump along with some good other ones as well.
Well being a crown top bottle I just thought is was cool because it was a local bottle for my collection
until I searched and saw some others were RARE.....

Well this got me really looking a bit more
I contacted some experts in the field and also asked a few on forums for help
this one person I contacted bought a 30oz Mohawk Pepsi-Cola bottle 1920 era for $1,475.00 then kept it a yr to resell it on Ebay
He did sell it on Ebay and this was what he got for it before all fees :(

The real sad part of finding bottles is when they are broken :(
I found 2 of the Mohawk Pepsi-Cola 30oz bottles in the dump broken
so a few grand wasted :lol: but I made out pretty well anyways diggin
 
<center>this was one of many clips I took of diggin :)
some may see the clip and some wont I guess :(

:lol: yeah I wish! Really cool Brian, that is awesome. Think I need to go back to bottle digging. been away from it for a while since I got the metal detector but it is where I first got bitten by the treasure hunting bug. Awesome finds and post Brian! Good hearing from you!
 
<center> well seeing as if it was strong enough to blow my place away I would have lost all my coins and bottles and guns and finds in display cases....... all kinds of stuff :(
So either I get that big old 400-500lb safe real soon and lock up some of the stuff in hopes of finding the safe if the house goes and I make it :)
Could always sell a few things off to tho ;)
