NEW DUMP FOUND - 10/11/2004 2:36:31 PM    treasurehunt   Posts: 311 Joined: 10/14/2003 From: Dearborn, Michigan Status: offline I FOUND A NEW BOTTLE DUMP TRAVELING LAST WEEKEND IN A GULLY NEXT TO A ABANDONED OLD HOUSE, I LOOKED DOWN AND IT WAS NOTHING BUT BOTTLES. I STARTED LOOKING AROUND AND MOST OF THE STUFF WAS FROM THE 40'S AND 50'S BUT I STARTED TO DIG DOWN, AND NEAR THE BOTTOM THERE WAS OLDER STUFF, THAT BLOB TOP IS MY FIRST I WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED TO FIND IT. MOST OF THE OLDER STUFF I FIND IS BROKEN. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET BACK, BUT JUST MY LUCK IT'S 2 AND A HALF HOURS AWAY. Attachment (1) Post #: 1
