A few 1880's bottles and stuff. Tuesday dig
Worked 9 hours today and got off early (this was going to be one of those 16 hour days) So on my way home decided to hit a old bottle dump I gave up on last year. I did not have my detector with me and dump is about 20 miles from my house so stuck to bottle digging.(I go near it on way home,45 minute drive 1 way.) Best broken bottle was a 1900 about brown bottle with lettering but planted between the rocks a 100 years ago hard. That left me with 3 in one piece. One is labeled "Black cat polish co buffalo ny " and other has no writing. Both are common bottles about 1880's. No idea on the midget bottle. But they are also common. Got piles of pottery and 2 bigger chunks. Also a button and a doll head. Slow 3 hour hunt but at least I got something. Hole is getting very dangerous to dig as I can not knock sides down due to it being in side of a bank. So till it washes out more or collapses probably last hunt. The doll has ceramic or porcelain teeth glued in from back. Talk about hand made. Nice warm 30 degrees today.
