Today walking the river I found a new dump. I only did an hour dig because I didn't have the proper tools like the ink hole it's very rooty and I only had my hand rake and my probe I'm hoping this ash pit gives up some real age but as of now my finds are 1890s to the turn of the century. The best find is the apple green buffalo lithia water bottle. I thinks it's the nicest embossed bottle I have found and a first for me. It's amazing how a bottle this size could survive in the ground. I also found s hoods sarsaparilla a tiny Kemp's balsam. A local druggist a size I don't have. And a tavern robbers Flint glass shot glass. I can't wait to head back down there tomorrow. Thanks for looking - Justin

Heck yeah, dude, 'gotta love finding a new dump! This looks like a good one...

That's definitely one of the more strongly-embossed lithia waters I've seen, and an interesting colour. Everything else is awesome too, I love that shot glass!

I can't wait to see what else comes out of there. That buffalo lithia water has nice detail. I would consider a professional cleaning on it but I know everybody has different opinions there.

Dumps like that drive me crazy thinking what else is down there. Hopefully it won't run out of bottles to soon! Nice dig!

I have never had a bottle proffesionally cleaned but I personally like the sickness and staining it shows character.

Thanks everyone. I think this dump will produce. I just hope it gets a little older. But the Lithia water made my weekend. I think there a underrated bottle.

What a nice dump, with the balsam that came out, pontils might be on their way! Wish you find some but you already got a few nice bottles. The Buffalo bottle has some serious embossing, really cool. Congrats and good luck! I wish I find a dump this summer :D

Amazing how clean everything is coming outta that spot. I'd have trouble sleeping until I could get back down there. Good luck!

Thank you sand chip. This spot has produced some very clean bottles. But I wash everything with bar keepers friend and copper shot. This stuff does wonders.
