Local milks from a huge 40's dump in the woods
Hi all, I got out to a dump on Monday this week for a couple hours after work. The dump is huge, I'm talking bottles under foot every step you take for hundreds of yards. Unfortunately most are from the 40's-60's so I really have to work for anything good. from the amount of stuff there I'm thinking it must have been the town dump of that era but I have no idea how to check into that. There also seems to be a ton of medical/scientific stuff mixed in, like beakers and test tubes and chemical bottles... The first time I was here was a few years ago, and this was my first time back since then. I found some nice local milk bottles including a thompson's dairy, Martin's dairy and bunch of chestnut farms dairy's in cream tops, pints and half pints. I've seen the cream tops for sale online listed at $25 and I found 4! I also found about 1,000 broken tops from them I also found a Va license plate from 1940 that's in surpringly good shape. Nothing too exciting but I love finding local stuff!
