Another cold, yet cool, dig - 1/23/2012 2:32:45 PM    Ratzilla   Posts: 422 Joined: 4/29/2009 From: Mullica Hill NJ Status: offline Sunday morning, 20 degrees, the great outdoors is calling. Always wear gloves when probing in freezing weather, it's annoying peeling frozen skin off the probe. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Always looking for Camden, NJ bottles! Post #: 1

I dug a decent hole behind this thing several years ago, but always thought there were more pits, just never got back to it.

Well, it was really old, a plain Kline or Willoby fruit jar, but it wasn't the least bit cool, as the top was gone...

Dave's little bricky ended up being dipped, had the German crock and a pharmacy bottle in the corner. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Always looking for Camden, NJ bottles!

RE: Another cold, yet cool, dig - 1/23/2012 3:12:57 PM    Ratzilla   Posts: 422 Joined: 4/29/2009 From: Mullica Hill NJ Status: offline After we filled in, we walked down the street to survey the digging potential of a large abandoned mansion which shows on my 1875 map. While walking the yard we noticed the vagrants had removed the boards from a window, the better to strip all the scrap metal out of the place, no doubt. We took the oppurtunity to tour the house - neat old place, the downstairs ruined by being cut up into apartments, the whole thing ruined by heavy vandalism and leaky roofing. Had a little attic crawl space with one broken no name TOC med in it, oh well. Also had a 1930's peach can (all the way from Sacramento, Ca.!) and this somewhat crusty Lionel locomotive, which was hidden behind a board, probably why it was left behind. Decided to save digging the pit for another day, too much trash back there... Attachment (1) _____________________________ Always looking for Camden, NJ bottles! (in reply to Ratzilla) Post #: 17

Still looks good just sitting there. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Always looking for Camden, NJ bottles! (in reply to Ratzilla) Post #: 19
