Railroad Bottle Dump Video

Pretty interesting video, This guys has an interesting channel. Probably the closest most people get to an archeolical dig.

I am thinking a major Bottle Dump is outside an old train station in my town.

Unfortunately anything within spitting distance of a railroad track around here is either paved over or has a building standing on it.

Yeah, My theory is that anywhere near an old school railroad station is a great place to dig, if you can get permissions. First of all people coming through were more likely to use bottles when available. Diptheria problems in some cities and towns. So most travelers not knowing where a good well was, would most likely prefer something bottled.
Disposable income, Travelers seemed to have more of it, which could be spent on bottled goods. Not only that but would have to dispose of the bottle, they just couldn't lug it around with them, wherever they were going.
That's the thinking anyways.
