New to Dump Digging - 6/17/2003 11:15:06 AM    David Osborn   Posts: 47 Joined: 6/17/2003 Status: offline Hi. I' m new to this and have been spending some happy hours at an old town dump here in Omaha Nebraska. (Its now an abandoned part of a city park) I realize my finds are not that old (yet) but i did wonder just how old I am getting so far. Could readers suggest a decade or what some of these bottles are ? -Dave. I' m new enough into the game that its thrilling to find ANY bottles not broken. The broken little tops and great bases I find already broken are heartbtreaking. I carry all my trash out of the park; its a great stand-by to show people who think I' m up to no good. :) Not sure how to link a photo here, so I' m trying the img src method.<hr> <img src=http://www.primaryweb.net/abba/bottles1.jpg> <img src=http://www.primaryweb.net/abba/bottles2.jpg> <img src=http://www.primaryweb.net/abba/bottles3.jpg> _____________________________ My girlfriend and i have begun bottle digging in Omaha Nebraska and could always use tips or even an offer to tag along to see a master at work ! 402-345-4890.

RE: New to Dump Digging - 6/17/2003 7:20:20 PM    Guest DAVID, AS YOU GUESSED MOST OF THE BOTTLES SOFAR ARE NEWER, 40-60 YEARS OLD OR SO . I THINK A FEW COULD BE OLDER SLIGHTLY, BUT I WOULD NEED A BETTER LOOK AT THEM. EVER THOUGHT ABOUT DIGGING OUT OLD OUTHOUSES ? GOOD DUMPS ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AROUND CENTRAL IL ,I STARTED DIGGING THEM WHEN MY DUMP DRIED UP AND HAVE HAD REAL GOOD LUCK. DIGGERJEFF (in reply to David Osborn)   Post #: 7

Most of these bottles are from the 1930' s and 1940' s. Mostly ABM and not very collectable. It' s still fun to find them, though. Keep looking!!! _____________________________ Woody (in reply to David Osborn) Post #: 8
