Maximum Effort Pays Off!!

Ground is bare but still frozen so did a quick mudlark on the river then went to my Million Bottle bottle dump! I love hitting this part of the river in the spring because the winter erosion always pops something out. Picked up a carter's ink, an irregular shaped bottle and an outstanding whiskey flask. Pretty confident that the flask is mid 1800s.

Next stop was a massive semi-modern bottle dump on the same river. Millions (no exaggeration) of bottles over an area the size of half a football field. Found a couple decent porcelain signs here last spring so had that on my mind. Picked up a couple bottles then saw the telltale red and yellow just barely visible. Walked over this spot a dozen times last year and missed this. Ground was frozen solid and it took over 2 hours to chip this out...broke my shovel but it was worth it!

Bonus was the skull and crossbones bottle came out of the hole with the sign!

Very cool finds, love that poison bottle

I like the Coke sign. I don't think I've seen one with a yellow background. Folks that dig old beer cans use a solution to get rid of the rust and, in most cases, bring back a lot of the detail and color underneath. Great finds!

Man, you just slap tore it up. The coffin flask, early iodine bottle, great sign, any one of these would make for a great day by themselves.
