I lost track after 1,800 in one pit, most were not keepers but I know that isnt the record either. Im sure there are a lot of people that have dug more than that in one hole in their lifetime

Status: offline 		Dug a Privy in Reading Pa years ago 8 feet round and 30 feet deep. We dug the the 1st 6 feet or so and then hit almost 20 feet of solid redware plates and everyone of them was broken. Talk about cryers, There was at least a couple thousand of them.

We only kept a couple that we found most of the pieces to. It was a night dig with very little light to see, and just way to many shards to even try and save.

We had a van with us that night and we could of filled it up at least 6 times with shards. I have never seen so much redware nor do i think i ever will again. It would be hard to top this redware find.

Later,

PA Digger

Im always looking for good pa soda/mineral waters.

Status: offline 		My best haul was not dug, but a gift from a friend.  He was thinning out his collection, and I came away with more than 100 bottles for free.  There were some nice acl and embossed local sodas,  a bunch of meds, and more!  I don't think this was all of them.

Status: offline 		I wish I had a picture to post for this, but oh well.  I found a dump that was untouched and in the first 3 hours 15 minutes I dug up 743 bottles.  I was so excited dirt was flying everywhere.  I eventually dug about 10,000 bottles in that dump as it was about 100' by 50' and 12' deep.  In some places the bottles were so thick it was hard to dig! Just dug with my hands or a small rake in those areas and a typical haul for an hours dig was about 75 bottles.  Age wasn't terribly old, found bottles from 1880's up to about 1910.  My dad came up one time to dig with me and he took home over 3,000 bottles that I had left on the ground (had no where to put them!).  I do have a picture of some of the bottles laying on the ground and will find it and try to post it here.  I haven't found a nice dump in years though, especially since I have moved to Wyoming.  Ahhh!  I'm getting bottle digging withdrawals....
