Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/2/2006 9:35:02 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Hi all, Made it out to the dump tonight...of course as soon as I stepped out the door it began to snow. That's ok though...had a hole already dug below the frost.

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/2/2006 9:37:01 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline I found a few interesting items, but I didn't clean any of my big bottles when I got home, as my light fixture fell apart, and my wife wouldn't want me cleaning the big stuff in the kitchen sink! Can you see the little cobalt bottle in this shot?

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/2/2006 9:40:01 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Here's a few of the little things. The cobalt is a three-sided poison, embossed with Triloids Poison. It's in great shape, and I'm tickled to get it as I can't seem to coax an unbroken poison from this dump!! The little vial is possibly my smallest bottle yet..I was lucky to spot it. A nice marble (what kind is it?). The little brass brooch / pin has three diamonds (fake I'm sure) in it. I'm not sure what the blue glass hangy-thing is from. A lamp maybe? A couple doll pieces (a super-small arm), and a brass flat button. Fun little pile of stuff.

Nice little dig you got going there... nice little poison. Could the small blue thingy be from an old fishing lure? a "spinner"? just a guess. Maybe they didn't use spinners back then. How old do you think the dump is? Wayne (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 4

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/2/2006 10:31:42 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline The dump is turn of the century to the late 30s, maybe 40s. I've found hundreds and hundreds of bottles, lots of coins (mainly teens). So I'd say turn of the century. It's an old boarding school dump _____________________________ "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history." - Shaw Yooper (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 5

Like a diamond cut, not at all a spoon shape. < Message edited by Yooper14 -- 3/2/2006 10:32:53 PM > _____________________________ "Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history." - Shaw Yooper (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 6

I have no idea about old fishing lures, but I do know that they sell for big money.... Just a thought. Good luck on your diggin spot. Wayne (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 7

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/2/2006 11:56:20 PM    capsoda Posts: 7927 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online Hey Yoop, your right about the blue thingy, it's a prisum from a lamp. Some of those bring $10 and up depending on what they are made of. My wife sells them at they flea market for $4 each. Check the brooch closely. Those stones are preatty sparkly and the stones in turn of the century jewelry used foil backs and rinestones of which neither dose very well under ground. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 8

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/3/2006 9:34:21 AM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Capsoda, I thought that was from a lamp. I seem to remember seeing lamps and chandaliers at flea markets from that time period with similar accessories. How would I go about checking if those are real diamonds? I've never done that before. I know diamonds are one of the hardest substances, so I should be able to cut glass with them, right? I was looking at the brooch (I think it may be a button cover) closer, and what I thought was some of the brass shining through looks to me to be more like a gold plating. Anyone have any jewelry ID resources from the early 20th century?

Status: offline Hey Yopper, yes diamonds will cut glass but alot of other semi precious stones will to. The easiest way to find out would be to take them to a jewelry store. They have electronic testers now that all they have to do is touch it to the stone and it will tell them if it's a diamond. If it beeps, then it's real. If not, then it's some sort of other stone. You could also use a loupe on them to look at them really close, but if you don't know what you're looking at it won't do you any good. Good Luck! Antique diamonds can be worth alot more than the one's you buy in the stores today! Chris Capley (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 11

Like Chris said take it to a local jeweler, not a chain store they charge, or a pawn shop and have them checked. I've worked on alot of antique jewelry and it's not uncommon to see great grand mom's favorite gold or silver plated brooch with real diamonds or other high dollar stones in it. From the late 1800s to the 1930s costume jewelry was more common than the high buck stuff. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 12

The wind shifted and it's out of the north so I won't have to pack any bottles yet.

RE: Who carea about the snow?!?! - 3/3/2006 10:42:48 PM    capsoda Posts: 7927 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online We are safe. The norther turned the fire south. No bottle dumps out there and the firemen around here are useless but we have firemen here from the surounding area. As far away as Mobile. 5 in all. Thanks all, we are ok. Turns out a guy was cutting up an old trailer with a torch and started a grass fire. No fire extinguisher, no pail of water, no hose and no facility for water and a windy day. Several hundreds of acres and millions of dollars in damage and you get " I didn't know" for an excuse from a grown man. Shesh! what a schmo. < Message edited by capsoda -- 3/4/2006 2:25:35 AM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 19
