Hey Everyone,
'Got a new spot. I had come across it before but didn't really get too curious about it until now. I'd found some pieces of later machine-made jars and ACL sodas, but didn't really think it was worth picking through a bunch of heavy rotten hay bales and tearing out a mess of coiled up wire fence. Plus I didn't think there would be much there, the dump isn't very large, maybe only 20ft by 20ft. But I did discover that there was a lot of intact later stuff just under the hay. The broken sodas I was finding had beautiful perfect paint, so I'm hoping to score a nice intact one eventually. After pulling out a million unembossed Milk of Magnesias near the top (I sometimes dig intuitively based on what I can see on the surface, and not always from the bottom up) I decided to make a little test hole almost right at the bottom and off to the side, where I had spotted some pottery shards and the wire looked older. I ended up pulling out a couple of heartbreakers. There was this interesting little art glass pitcher of some sort with a crimped tail, red, green, and white splotches throughout. It does have a pontil scar, but I'm not sure that it's very old, 'still would have been a beauty though. Then we found the bottom of an EGCo The Imperial pint, would have been a great little jar for the shelf. I ended up taking home a sun-coloured food jar, early Owens scar, and a little aqua pint food product of some sort, I just really liked the flat shoulders because it reminds me of one of those early Crowleytown mason jars, haha.
And check out this beauty of a Coke machine I stumbled upon later!
