Antique Bottles

Antique bottles are truly a part of history. The different types of bottles tell a story about a particular industry or way of life. For example, medicinal bottles tell us how far the medical industry has come since many elements are now stored in plastic bags. Seeing an old glass IV bottle can take you back decades.

If you're a modern-day treasure hunter you may wonder how you can find some great Civil War artifacts, whether on your own or through another seller that has already found them for you. Believe it or not, there are still some great items you can find from the Civil War even after all these decades.
Civil war artifacts can be found where old forts have stood in the past, anywhere armies were billeted and in some cases where battles between the Indians and the army took place. But the best place to start looking for Civil War Artifacts is where civil war battles have taken place. Do some research on the civil war battle of Bear River.

Typically the day time temperature around 60 to 70 degrees, night time temperatures not less than 40 degrees and the soil temperatures of about 50 to 60 degrees with good ground moisture levels are ideal for moral growing.
Star Garnets

India and Idaho are the only two places in the world that star garnets are found. They range in size from a grain of sand to golf ball in size. Star Garnets display a reflection of the light with a four or six ray star, which is caused by an inclusion of rutile in the gemstone. Idaho is the only known place where six ray star garnets are found.
Truffles

Truffles are quite common in the Pacific Northwest Mountains from California through Oregon and Washington to British Colombia. They have also been reported to have been found in Idaho, Montana and New York but these rumors have not been validated.
