Nice haul, the Green Vess Dry is one of my favorite deco sodas. They're not real common, either. I was fortunate enough to dig one with my home town embossed on the base. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to CanadianBoy) Post #: 4

RE: $ Saturdays in June and yesterday - 7/9/2007 7:36:30 AM    CanadianBoy   Posts: 657 Joined: 7/25/2004 Status: offline Jim,I must have found 10 broken Vess bottles. John, the little brown one's are Bovril,we find lots of these,I have them in all sizes. Meech,Yes I dug the Booster,and it is a lug,first one I've dug. There's lots to find in this dump, we dig the odd milk but 100's are broken,then you move ash for a couple of hours and thats all you get....ASH. Then bang its into a new vein, its an interesting dump,lots of screw-tops.Some of the shards would blow you away. I'll post more later.

Believe it or not I have only dug once or twice since you left here I just have not had time lately and my precious little 3 1/2 year old was attacked  by a Labrador, Sat before the fourth. She got stitches in her right cheek and at the hairline above her right temple. It was the most horrific thing I have ever gone through with my baby. Anyway I hope to get back after the glass very soon. Keep up the good finds and thanks for sharing it with us. Marvin (in reply to CanadianBoy) Post #: 10
