Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 1:42:12 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline Found a GREAT (at least to me it is) area today on a walk in the field. Went further then I've been before and ended up on this man's property (didnt know it was owned when I got there) and a while later he came up with his dogs and asked what I was doing, told him I was collecting bottles and he told me that the more I hauled out the better, lol. So I found 45 bottles on the surface or just below it. I didnt want to dig it up because the man left before I could ask. I got a bunch of stuff I've never found before. Here are the pictures.

RE: Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 2:21:15 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline I'm in Pueblo so the southern part of colorado. Even if you tell me about the ghost towns I couldnt get there. I'm limited when it comes to driving. At least for now since I dont have my license yet. If you know of any that are really close then please share! _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 8

RE: Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 2:23:46 AM    BRichardson5   Posts: 378 Joined: 8/29/2003 From: Pacific Northwest Status: offline Hey there. Looks like you are in a solid 1940's dump. When i first started digging bottles these were exactly the types of bottles that i would dig and they would always make my day, as i am sure that they too are making you happy. Looks like there are a couple of older bottles mixed in with this bunch. In the first picture, middle row, second bottle from the right looks like an older unembossed pharmacy from the 20's. The best bottle though is in your last picture on the far right. It is embossed (with what?) and has an older top. Good luck digging and keep looking for the older bottles like the ones i mentioned.

I will send you an email with two locations. _____________________________ 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 BRichardson5) Post #: 10

(I'm not very good with bottle anatomy) it says "Trial size" _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to BRichardson5) Post #: 11

RE: Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 2:55:27 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline Historical maps of Pueblo? Or the area around it because I've tried and found that there isnt anything useful on google that I can see. I could try the library but I probably wouldnt be able to check out any of the books with maps worth looking at. Ah well I'll try the next time I'm there anyway. Thanks for helping. _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 12

The federal law prohibits... on the shoulder means that it is 1940's or newer. You should ask the guy about digging, there may be some older stuff just below the surface.

RE: Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 7:57:59 PM    Plumbata   Posts: 75 Joined: 12/4/2007 Status: offline The unembossed pharmacy bottle that BRichardson noted appears to have a hand-tooled top! Check that one for the mold seam, and as i'm sure you know it should terminate before the top of the lip. If so then it may be close to 10 years older than the first estimate. If it is indeed handmade, then you should go to the spot where it came from and do a little more digging, because although the dump doesn't seem ancient, the old stuff like that may still be hidden below! Nice sample size oriental cream, those little embossed bottles are fun, because amongst other reasons you can have 10 of em displayed in the space a big jar would take up.

RE: Wow! 45! - 2/19/2008 11:54:59 PM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 241 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline I went back to that same place today and found 12 more bottles. I didnt find the guy who owns that part of the field so I couldnt ask about digging. Two of these bottles appear to have had a cork in them at one time. Four of them have embossing on them. I probably wont go back to that place for a while. Gonna go check out a ravine tomorrow that is said to be full of bottles. I'll post my findings if there are any.
