My first dump dig.

[kbark1973]

I was seeing a lot of broken glass near a small creek where a ravine is located between two hills. I decided to go up this ravine just to check it out and started seeing these bottle tops and bottoms sticking out the sides of the ravine all over! I started digging around for a whole bottle but didn't have a lot of time to explore. I have never dug bottles or dumps before but this is what I found in about 20 minutes. Can anyone estimate the date of any of these? Thanks. Can't wait to go back when I have more time!!

'Looks like you've got some shards from around the turn of the century to about 1915. Anything a century old would get me digging. Welcome, good luck, and let us know what you find!

Welcome aboard, always good to see new faces on here.

I'm with NJKLAGT on this one. If I found those sticking out of the bank of a ravine it would keep me awake at night dreaming of what else might be there. Good luck and happy digging!

Yes good enough age. Get a shovel and get in there asap. Would also possibly keep me awake.

Start slinging some dirt

You might just be a bottle digger for life if you keep it up, there's some older complete bottles waiting for you, now go get em.

Heading back out to this spot this weekend and I am jacked up!! Been thinking all week about what I could possibly unearth! I think I've been bitten by the bottle digging bug boys! I am out every chance I get, looking for arrowheads. That is how I found this dump so now between the two hobbies, I may never be home!!! I will post pics if I find anything unbroken or cool and unusual. Later.
