Another bottle dig : >

[bullgill]

Not much quality but added some to my collection that I needed. I will trade all of the boring ones for something good.

Dug in one hole so long the bottles stopped coming out, should have known when to move on because I found all the milks an hour or two before I left after I started a new hole 10 feet away.








































Happy Hunting! : >

hmm - are you seeing any beer cans in this dump(?)- is this a dump with a lot of ash - or mostly dirt(?)

 

[bullgill]

LOTS of ash, no cans. Only two very good milk bottles yet, they treated those things like crap. The ground settling on top of them does not help with the scratching. I want to find another spot soon, I will have to do some scouting around some other places.

It is hard to find a pocket of good bottles these days when you go to a known dump it has been dug 500 times. I am looking at a large ridge with mid 1800's houses all along. Maybe with a bit of luck there is a dump somewhere along this ridge, people found it convenient to throw their garbage over the hills.
