You know I have semi lurked this site for almost a year now and somehow never saw this section???!!!

Anyhow I live in a house up on a dolomite rock cliff that drops down about 90 feet. The back area of my house at one time was the towns dump area, probably 1960's on back to late 1800's. I have found probably a good 50+ intact bottles in my very few digs. There are a lot more there except it's a pain in the rear to get back up from down there and it also drops off rather steeply into a "creek" that is 20ft deep in some spots with old cars and tractor parts.

There are several whiskey/wine/pill bottles etc. and a whole bunch of I don't know what it was used for but it looks neat types. As soon as I empty my camera in the next couple of days I am going to photograph them and see anyone here is interested in helping me identify them. I am sure some are from local companies and will never know but I hope it can be a fun time and when the ground thaws a bit I am going to get back and look for more, as they are for some who knows what reason, wanting to make a path down there and I am sure I will lose my spot or things will just get shattered =/ I still say they really need to look at where they are going to bobcat thru as the ground is severely!!!!!! undermined by the creek in spots.

HH and will post pics very soon!
 

We always welcome pics of bottles and plenty of people on here will do their best to help you. Can't wait for the pics!
