Maybe it's just the lighting or the camera angle makes it look fine as it is. Congrats! So many dumps back East still to be found and dug. In California everything's been paved over or dug decades ago. There are a few creeks here in the South Bay (with potential) but there has been so much re-channelization and tons of dirt and cement pushed over the banks through the years covering the old dumps pretty much for eternity or the next big random flood. _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.

Good score.  ~Jim Much agreed! So how big is the population in the town of Shohola, PA now SPD? The best i've done is dig a pharm from Minto, North Dakota (of all places) with a current population of 657, and a pharm from small town of Sidney, IL with a little more than 1000 people now, and I certainly wasn't born in either place. I tried googling the town but I cant find any good information so that bottle is probably a bit more rare than my finds. Congrats on digging such a nice piece! _____________________________ Alterius non sit qui suus esse potest.
