RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/30/2010 11:09:53 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Someone asked in a post, how deep do you dig.  You did until you reach an undisturbed layer of dirt.  In this dump, that means white sand. In this pic you are looking straight down about four feet. The white sand is on the bottom. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/30/2010 11:31:36 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I agree it looks like ash in the photo, but it's white creek bank sand.  The dump was on the edge of a cypress swamp. It slopes downhill, right into the swamp. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to madpaddla) Post #: 29

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/30/2010 12:12:39 PM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Here's a pic from back in the winter when the ground is saturated.  When you hit that sandy layer the water fills up the hole fast. Hard to see what you are doing and you take a chance at missing something.  Bailing water with a bucket is no fun and backbreaking.

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/31/2010 6:31:36 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Thanks Ben and Tftfan for the comments.  It's a good spot to dig if you want to stay out of public view.  The remoteness of the area is what I like.  Most of the locals, including  most of the cops,  know what I am doing and I don't have to worry too much about being harrassed by landowners.  I haven't found anything  real old or real great, but there's always the next dig. Good Luck to both of you on your next outings. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to tftfan) Post #: 32

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/31/2010 7:25:43 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Yikes!!! I made a mistake and don't know how to correct it. I can't find the Edit icon.  I said the milkglass cosmetic bottle said Chic Co on the bottom.  I was wrong!! It says Chicago.  But it is written backwards. Close up of bottom. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight. (in reply to logueb) Post #: 33

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 8/31/2010 7:31:07 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline The milkglass cosmetic bottle also has an unusual shape, three flat sides and three curved sides.

RE: Back To The Ol Dump - 9/2/2010 8:14:23 AM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline I'm chiseling away at the hard rust layer thinking that you need a pick axe to chip through this petrified rust layer ,when this stuff starts falling out of the sandy upper layer.  Glad this didn't konk me in the head.  A pick axe, sad iron, and horse shoe.  Notice the wood spindle that was preserved in the bottom wet layer.
