Any one know how to age or whatever glass bottles, I picked one up out the creek while scouting yesterday thought it was pretty neat. I can post pictures later of the bottle to see if any one has any idea!

Maybe google them or find similar on eBay? Those old glass bottles are cool. There is a place I hunt that people use to dump trash a long time ago. There are several old glass 2 liter bottles etc. always thought is was neat.

Post pictures, I have a friend that collects old bottles. He had a vinegar bottle that he bought for $.50 and sold for $1000.
I filled it up with rocks from turkeys and put a cork in the top but that's what the bottle looks like and the info on the bottom is hard to see it now with the rocks in it. Also found this other bottle too attached below. It says 65 with a line under it

I was hunting in CNF one time not far off the side of a trail when two ol boys started coming up the trail carrying shovels and five gallon buckets. Made me feel little uneasy cause I couldn't figure out what they were up to. Of course they spotted me wearing orange and made a bee line straight towards me. They were really cool and started asking if I knew where any old home places were at (which I did) and that's what they were doing was looking for old bottles. To hear them tell it, they made pretty good money at it.
Very interesting

Back many years ago...when my brother was married to his first wife...they lived in a large, very old house, on the river. There was a train trestle crossing the river almost in their back yard. On the opposite side of river, there was/is a civil war fort.
After a lot of research, they found pics of the house in civil war books. It was used as a hospital during the war. They were always finding old medicine bottles in their yard... whenever digging around. Found a bunch of pretty cool stuff.

That's awesome! I bet there's all kind of cool stuff in the ground around their house, My buddy found this during deer season not far from where I found the bottle
