dump digging - 5/4/2008 9:55:23 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2014 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: online    I got out today for about 4 hours. I hit a local dump and pulled out a nice local crown top soda from Wellsburg W.Va. a few insulators and a couple of milks. Nothing fantastic but finds none the less. I was pretty excited when I took the picture of the milk before it came out but it turned out to be a fairly common milk from Steubenville. I also found one blob top beer from Steubenville. A J.L. Helstern. It's nothing to write home about but it's a blob. There is one insulator that I kept. It's a pottery or stoneware model but it's white. I never dug one like it before. I'll try to get a photo on here of it when I can. < Message edited by zanes_antiques -- 5/4/2008 9:57:31 PM > _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

Very cool insulators and sodas. Glad to see you out digging in the privies and dumps again. That looks like a tough dump to dig with all that rust.  Good luck on your next dig..

RE: dump digging - 5/6/2008 5:35:41 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2014 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: online    Thanks for all the replies everyone. Yes it's a milk in the back row. That's an early wide lip on a common Steubenville Milk. I forgot to snap a photo of the Sharpe and Dome Poison I found also. As for the insulators they were damaged so I left them in the hole. Does anyone think they are worth going back for? _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 9

It's looking like I might be getting a few weeks off very shortly. I look forward to getting together for a dig or two. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to JGUIS) Post #: 13

RE: dump digging - 5/8/2008 11:21:14 PM    SergioWilkins   Posts: 62 Joined: 4/18/2006 Status: offline I'm looking into whether the two cross-top insulators are worth keeping in rough shape. In any case, don't cover them up or smash them together just yet! (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 14
