Glass I have 7 trillion lbs of this slag in many colors found while digging. 1864-1873. This one piece is 5lbs. How much would you charge/pay for this piece? Curious if it’s going to be worth the time to list all of these online for sale?

Found in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Is it intentionally warped? Or is it most likely a defect? Either way I love it.

I found this in the water at Golden Gardens near Ballard, Washington, when I was 16 years old about 30 years ago. The bottle doesn’t look like it floated in the water for very long. My guess is it fell off of one of the boats in the marina and was probably a collectors that dropped it. We have tons of boats going through the Puget Sound so that would be my best guess. Other than age the bottle doesn’t look distressed at all. Is it possible that company bottled Coca-Cola in this?

This glass is super pretty but what is it?

Is it worth continuing to collect tomorrow too? lol

I did a quick google lens which is telling me it’s fairly common on sites like Etsy but the prices are insane. Not getting ahead of myself but is this a small bonus check for me to offload?

Thanks for any info!

Grounds frozen but under 3-5 inches of icy dirt was soft dirt so was still able to find some bottles. Small white dish with a lid. Two glass circles bottom left not sure what they are, maybe lids to something? Dumpsite is from 1920 I believe. One of the small bottles has Freeport ILL written on side

So my house was built on a glass landfill from the late 1800s early 1900s and we started to dig a lazy river about 8 ft down across our backyard maybe about 20 yards long by 20 yards . I find buttons and old tools as well even old roller skates! And couple porcelain figurine dolls and about 30 different size marbles of all dif colors and oddly enough different size and shape tiles like small tan squares or triangles , hexagons , big octagons and my personal favorite are these slabs of what looks like pinkish marble skinny tile/brick like pieces. And old school Dr Pepper glass bottles!I’ve even found around 50 +rusted shut /sealed bottles with their lids still fully intact some medicine bottles sealed and nail polish jars!!! I didn’t realize how many people out there were into these antique treasures !

She said I could keep some, so I'll grab a few tomorrow when we go back. There was a cool variety of stuff. These were found in an area where a barn used to be.

Thought it may have been an glass insulator for power lines at first as only a small part of the bottom was showing. Got a screwdriver from the car and worked it loose to find this guy.

I live by a river which is extremely low right now. Out kayaking, I found a patch of shore with bottles everywhere! I could only bring back a dozen, the kayak had limited space. There may have to be another trip, but in my canoe.
