Antique bottles - We dig, find, rescue, locate, research, study, preserve, donate, trade, display, sell and buy bottles.
Please contact us about purchasing your collection or singles.

We excavate - dig permission sites only. After securing permission, we locate and recover artifacts from areas
such as: estates, property (commercial or residential), privies, wells, and dumps. We do this without damage to the
property or artifacts and using the safest method possible. Please consider contacting us first if your site is available.

Serious diggers, if you are in the central Virginia area, and want to go bottle hunting (your permission site), or if
you need help with your dig, contact us by the e-mail link below in advance.

Questions about your bottles or finds?
Please go to Antique-Bottles.net or try some of the other forums listed on my links page.

Go bottle and glass hunting when you can, if you can and always take with you large shovel loads of good luck.
Successful searches to all !
