Hey guys, I've got some catching up to do. I'll probably be posting a couple more threads after this (sorry). But for now here is the result of cleaning up a pretty much dug out dump. This dump is on the side of a hill where they would dump off a rock ledge. I figured out that a lot of the goodies collected directly under the ledge and so I was cleaning up that area and got this great local Hutchinson that I don't have. It's got real sharp embossing and a cool monogram.

Also, I tried my luck in an area of the dump on a different part of the hill away from the ledge and unfortunately they seem to have dumped rocks ALL ON TOP OF THE OLDEST PART OF THE DUMP!!! Broken blob and hutch galore, very sad indeed. I did come across a very interesting shard, though. Feeling very disappointed about all the awesome brokens, I would examine each and try to see if I could identify them. I came across this shard and thought the embossing of JUAN to be odd, and since it was a hutch shard I figured I could look it up in the directory to satisfy my curiosity. Turns out the shard was indeed embossed SAN JUAN for Puerto Rico! Whether the bottle ever made it there or was simply surplus from the manufacturer I don't think we'll ever know, but cool anyway! I've attached a picture of a whole example.
