Isn't that how it always goes? All the decent/rare bottles are busted an almost every dang common is whole?ORIGINAL: Steve/sewell
Nice work Conner thanks for sharing the dig with us. Ouch that 7-up colored ink well would have been a sharp bottle had it been whole.
It does seem that way, doesn't it. There are more commons made than rare bottles, so there's more of them surviving whole. I think on this dig, though, I was pretty lucky. I found as many good bottles whole as broken criers.
This dump was "renovated" a few years ago by construction machines... That renovation included a turnover of all the soil, and a heaping dose of boulders added to the mix. Imagine how many bottles I'd have if there was no construction done... I estimate that only 20% of the bottles once in this dump are whole today. Half of those are 6 feet under the ground, and I've still found this many...
