In my other post 6"deep I found an Ink, when I got back at it under that 6" there was a folded over rug and nested within where some bottles in great condition! The bottles in the first pic. The rest where underneath and I'm only 2' down.

Here you go. My guess is that the home owners continued to use the hole as a trash pit as it sunk. Deeper = older. [attachment=2014-09-15_23-52-36_265.jpg][attachment=2014-09-16_00-37-05_407.jpg][attachment=2014-09-16_00-52-19_689.jpg]

Some of those ACL Soda's could be good ones. Dig deeper. Good Luck, LEON.

That looks like a lot of glass for a 4x4x2 foot or so hole privy and the range of 30's-70's makes me think the tailings of someones old digs or a collector just digging a hole and filling it with stuff they don't want.It's really very interesting.What condition was the rug in?

I'm not sure why it is but it's nothing but all kinds of glass. The rug just riped apart when I pulled on it. Right before I called it quits I pulled an 1880s pipe with Gorge Washington's bust on it. The only thing I can find on it is two auction sites one the pipe sold for $200 the other has a starting bid of $245 and the auctioneers estimating it at $400 to $500. I'm still in my phone but I sent some pics to westKYdigger maybe I can get him to post it for me.
