Found Another bottle trashpit Today...

MonkeyBoy · Mar 3, 2008

I was heading to hunt a early house site that has produce 2 1774 KG, a bunch of pewter buttons, and trade axe!! and also random Civil War relics.. well.. decided to hunt the highest hill as I am walking back to the ruins. There were some camps close by looked like it might be a good spot for a picket post. About 1/2 up the hill I spot a bottle laying in the leaves.. then another.. so on and so on.. so I put down the machine and start digging them out. Spent 2 1/2 hours digging.. lots of roots!! but pulled 30 bottles out of the pit and I am sure there are more... the funny thing is the trash pit is really far from either house on the property and in a strange place on the side of the hill.. not easy to get to?? One is pontiled.. a few applied tops the rest are seamed.. but hey.. I'll take them!!

Here is the link to my only other bottle trash pit http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,74980.0.html

Nice finds, I always remember my grandparents saved their trash they couldn't burn, and occasionally took up the "holler" and dropped it over a bank. It was a common practice to dump bottles and cans far from home. I love to find an older dump.
