Today was too nice of a day to stay inside. I started at 8am and hunted till noon. All of these finds were just lying on top of the ground or just partially buried. I walked around the whole site, it is huge, like atleast the size of a city block!!! I bet there is a lot of older stuff, I can't wait to start diggin!!! Here is what I found. LOL - I had over 25 min of video that I had to widdle down to fit on youtube so that is always a pain. here is my finds.

Nice I've only found one good bottle from the mid 1800's nothing on the bottle.

Nice hunting.

I would bet you have a gold mine there.
Many of those are probably worth selling. I don't know for sure, but I have friends that may.

Very cool bottles TF, I saw the other video you posted about the bottles, I'm not sure if it was from the same dump.

You could spend a lifetime there! And probably earn some $$$ with the finds!
 

Great site. Pick a small spot and dig carefully. I have heard the deeper you go, the older the bottles.

GREAT BOTTLE DUMP. KEEP LOOKING. :thumbsup:
 

Warning! Take a very good and updated First Aid kit with you, and don't leave it in your vehicle! Nice city dump, nice bottles. I don't care how careful you are, with that much glass around there, you're bound to get cut. Buy some of those cut proof gloves, and gl on your next hunt........NGE

LOL - yea I have already cut my knee when I slipped on some ice and landed on a broken bottle last week. My buddy found that site and when he tried to pickup a bottle it shattered and he had to get stiches and it cut his tendon and he was wearing gloves... :o
