RE: Chero-Cola Bottling Plant Discards Dump Uncovered - 5/30/2007 10:16:16 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Spence,  I'll try to save as many as possible. I can always discard later.  When the creek returns to its normal height all those will be underwater. I checked on the progress of the bridge today.  A friend that I know who retired from the DOT is contract working on the project.  He introduced me to the DOT guys. So now I have "unofficial" access to the site.  That's the good news. Now here's the bad news , the track-hoe operators wife collects bottles.  He had a bucket full.  I'll try to get some pics. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Chero-Cola Bottling Plant Discards Dump Uncovered - 6/1/2007 12:37:03 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I haven't had a chance to do much digging at the bridge site lately - , work, Volunteer Fire Chief, and Honey-do-list eating up all my spare time.  I dug a liitle last night with a lantern.  I guess I got it really bad.  Is there any help for digaholics? Yards neglected, garden neglected, mind at work wondering what the track-hoe guy is digging up, wifey on edge and thinks that I have completely nutted-up.  Anyway, yesterday my ol' digging buddy showed up right before dark.  I knew he couldn't stay away.  Then he tells me that when the second cement bridge was built in the sixtys that some guy picked tons of arrowheads.  Good place for a camp, high sand bank above a creek.  Then he points out a nutting bowl six inches from my foot.  I'm not sure but I'll post a pic.  It is scooped out on both sides and has that small dent in the center. Timed out again....but I copied.. haha. Attachment (1) < Message edited by logueb -- 6/1/2007 12:38:21 PM > _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

Nuts were an important part of the natives diet so their are many nutting stones around but thats an exceptioal piece. It looks like your finding alot of pre 1900 trash so it was definately a dump before chero cola dumped there. There are defitately more ancient native artifacts to be found so keep your eye out and let us know what you find. _____________________________ "Everything on the earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and every person a mission.

RE: Chero-Cola Bottling Plant Discards Dump Uncovered - 6/4/2007 12:27:42 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Ran by the bridge site Friday after work and did a little digging in the creek.  I figured that I had better check it out before the rains came in.  I'm glad that I did.  It rained all day Sat. until mid-morning Sunday. We got better than 6 inches of rain and Sunday the creek was flooded.  Here's a pic of Friday's finds.  Two aqua bottles, an amber bottle, a cobalt bottle and several sodas.  All of the non-soda bottles were bimal.
