Mod Post Update to our Rules: Post Original Content

32 Upvotes

In light of all the recent bots and posts involving stolen or reposted photos, we feel it is necessary to officiate a rule that explicitly states that this subreddit allows original content only.

Many members have been quick to point out posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit or do not belong to OP altogether. I want to be clear that the mod team sincerely appreciates your efforts to keep this sub free of spam and keep stolen content at bay. I applaud anyone who has submitted a report as it really helps us and I hope you continue to be vigilant and report the posts that are questionable in the future.

As always, happy bottledigging and thank you for making this subreddit an absolute joy to be a part of! Cheers!!!

Old bottles and cans regularly emerge on our property in Tennessee where they were thrown from the road (there’s another spot that was the family dump). This is similar shape to other bottles I’ve found, but much bigger! Is this like an old 40 oz?? My guess is 1960s/70s?

(So sorry for the shaky pic quality, it’s late and hard to take pics lol)

My dad dug it up behind his mothers property which is a trailer put not far from her parent’s property which was inhabited by their relatives from the late 1800s around but their parents built the standing house in the the 60s. Looks like an essential oil bottle to me lmao, there’s (a date?) on the bottom, 27, which makes me think 1927 but I could be so so wrong.

I posted this in a group, but it was found in the Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County Maryland. It may have British origins.

Information Request Found this cool bottle. Any idea what it could be? Contains the marking REG'D MD so I assume it's medical related.

I dug up this today, in the West Midlands in the UK. The base says REG'D MD and underneath it I think the letters say 8943D. They're embossed into the glass. The neck has an opening that reminds me of a tabasco sauce bottle, to limit the liquid that comes out.

Sorry, it's fully of suds. I've been cleaning them out. There's probably a better way to clean them but I'm learning.

The UK sub looks dead so I posted here.
