two different days same place - 1/17/2009 8:33:05 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    My brother got us permission to dig almost two city blocks of continuous lots. There is a bank at the rear of the lots that was used as a dump for the houses above. There are layers that go 8-10 feet deep. We have found bottles from top to bottom with the highest concentration being nearest the top layer. here are a few photos of our digs. We found about 8 or 9 milks 2 lightning sodas and a few beers. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

I recall one yard you dug that was nearly all filled in with bottles and dump, the post thread is probably still on here somewhere. Hope you get enough time to dig this new one all the way.

RE: two different days same place - 1/18/2009 8:10:46 PM    craigc90 Posts: 865 Joined: 8/17/2004 From: Bloomingdale Ohio Status: offline   We did some more digging today. It was like a heatwave. We found a milk a local beer a few medicines and a flint glass perfume. Here is a picture one of those dont try this at home photos. The ground was frozen 10 inches deep and we were not worried about cave ins. I let Zane take evrything except this one I kept for my sons collection. I have never dug a Dr. August Koenigs Hamburger Tropfen but I am sure it probably common. Attachment (1) (in reply to Stardust) Post #: 8

I saw a listing in Baldwin's book, dated it to 1892. Matt's guide lists it as a German sample bottle.   Value @  $8.00 in 2005. Zane, I think you might get best dump photo for the one where you're looking out from the hole..great pics. (in reply to craigc90) Post #: 13

We crossed the river into WVa. and scoped out a few prospects. Check out the river pictures and the famous Wabash railroad bridge that carried the railroad over the ohio river on the mainline from Pittsburgh Pa to Columbus Ohio (in reply to cracked bottle) Post #: 17
