Dug the old town dump today with scotk9

[cti4sw]

Went to a local creek that scotk9 had pegged as a town dump area. We picked a spot on the bank with a lot of debris and started digging, but no MDs today. In the end, we came out with this haul:

53 intact bottles
​

Of the bottles, these were the most interesting:

Rosenberger's Dairies pint milk jar


The Dill Co. of Norristown, PA unknown vial


Dr. White's Lon-Ge Hai-La cough syrup from Lehighton, PA
​

We did recover a gallon jug that Scotk9 took home. I don't have a pic of that one, hopefully he does.

Then, the rest of it:

20 flatware shards


a flat serving dish c.1911 with the mark "Moriyama"


a split twin-handled vintage china soup bowl whose glue is drying​

a mostly-intact ebony china goblet


an antique bronze door plate


a vintage ceramic baby doll's head
​

We also found my first horseshoe, which is languishing in some ACV, Japanese porcelain feet to some sort of figurine, a thimble advertising Whitman Electricians of Lansdale, PA, a vintage Listerine bottle from Lambert Pharmaceuticals, 3 mason jar lids, a tin pepper can, and a few other items I can't think of off the top of my head. Can't wait to expand the hole and find more cool stuff

EDIT: The milk bottle, Dill Co. bottle, cough syrup bottle, thimble, Moriyama pottery dish, and vintage china soup bowl will be added to the Hatfield Museum & History Society collection.

Dirt and ash, sometimes in layers and sometimes mixed. Lots of rusted tin cans, haven't noticed any beer cans in particular. I'll get pics this evening or tomorrow.
