Hey CanadianBoy
I'm a digger in Toronto, collecting mostly Stoneware, inks and squat sodas.
Nice Port Hope ginger beer!

I was out this afternoon for a couple of hours,I decided to do another test hole!!.........
Here's the results,this dump just keeps going and going...or giving and giving.
The owner has the place up for sale,so we decided we better dig faster.

Hey Woody,well I think we got spoiled early on,so anything without a name gets discarded.Unless its interesting!.And of course we have no room to store them,there're
must be between 6000 & 8000 discards.
Some days thats about all we find,and its like all dumps,nothing..and them bingo...then nothing.

Hi CanadianBoy, I am impressed by the bottles dug from the test hole. In particular, the four blues. What was in the blues?

Cheers from Oz!

Hmm, lots of discards and no way you can haul them out to sell or donate for postage to anyone so the stuff is saved or appreciated by somebody else? Be a shame if that stuff was destroyed and built over or access no longer allowed to it. Some folks have no place to dig or are unable to dig. I know it's not your fault but what a shame! Wouldn't it be cool if someone had they're own land that would never be built on and the 8000 discards could lay there and be rediscovered by novices for fun or for 25 cents a piece even! Gees 8,000 10 cent bottles = 800 bucks! Possibilities, possibilities and more possibilities wish I had that opportunity! It's a goldstrike for sure!

Hey Kastoo,we looked at buying the place,but its too expensive,maybe if they dropped the price by a $100,000.
