I dug another a few months back but I smashed it... It was in a surface dump under a little tree.  When I got to the tree I rocked it back and forth to pull it out of the ground and while doing so I heard a "pop"... and the base of the bottle fell out from under the tree... the rest was all in there.... it was right up an inch or two from the surface, I though I had checked under the tree good...  I'm still angry about it! lol... Beautiful collection you have put together, thanks for helping with my research! _____________________________ aint no bottles in there.... (in reply to bonesbda) Post #: 22
