Some more bottles from the dump

[Turbo21]

Got out for an early morning 1 hour dig

Was doing great and had a nice pocket of embossed bottles showing up until I heard the unmistakable sound of the overhang cracking. I cleared back down to the creek and watched a 15 foot wide 4 ft high section break off and tumble down the hill. Man can that be scary lol




So after the collapse I started clearing out some more dirt and had a pretty good day


I love the sulphuric acid "child's" fire extinguisher aqua bottle. Also got a strange looking decorative vase. Native American.? Egyptian? Will probably never know

Enjoy the pics

I dug bottles for 30 years and besides digging with a partner my other rule was never ever undermine your holes.

The problem is that nature has undermined the whole area. You just have to be careful and be aware of hill above you

Nice stuff bob

Yeah that shelf is no joke. That's a lot of earth there. Being down there is like a death wish lol. See you down there in the morning

It's crazy to look at the before and after pictures we have decimated that hillside lol. I promise you some nice embossed stuff will come out tomorrow.
My new altered digging rake/pitchfork is working great

Great bottles. I usually feel like that doll head after I go digging! Can't wait to see more!
