    Found a substantial dump..

    Great news about the dump, could be some good late throws at the bottom! Here's a dug com plate from 1915, a bit rough but still a keeper, it was down deep probably 8'. Great plate resource link by the way, thanks!

    Picked up a NH Druggist bottle

    Great find! You're holding onto one of a few that I know of, I have one in a 3oz and another in a 2oz size. The embossing is Frank H. Reed, who opened a drug store in 1901 on Cedar St. I believe these BIMAL versions just missed being made by the ABM, and I have not heard of an ABM example. Over...

    Sat. dig with heartbreaker!

    Got out on Saturday to a perfect day of digging an old farmhouse that has small dumps around the property. Older shards seemed to be coming from a muddy area around an old stone lined well and this huge rock so we focused on that: We found a few decent keepers, mostly 20's and 30's...

    Sat. Privy Dig

    I dug another variant of the JB Williams bottle up here in NH, I thought it was a druggist but the shape suggested a cleaning or soap product, turns out they were a major barber supplier and covered quite an area. Our variants likely contained shaving soap or lotion...

    EDWARD HEFFERNAN

    Here's some help, dug this in NH. I believe it was a whiskey/liquor operation, but this one is earlier, and huge. Your "not to be sold" was to discourage reuse of the bottle, probably pre prohibition era.

    Morale up with today's digs

    A very "h"are find indeed [8D] I'd say it's turn of the century pottery, not what I was expecting though, I'd bet it had some kind of carrier it fit into or something. I hope the #@# it isn't someone's ash urn [:'(][:o][:@] If it makes weird noises in the night: WTS haunted urn!

    Morale up with today's digs

    Finally got a chance to hit a city dump spot I knew about for some time, all this pulled from only ~3ft of dump layer, not bad for a few hours of scraping! I'm hoping to find a deeper spot but there is so much poison ivy i'd have to go in a hazard suit. How about that, it has to be the...

    Are cops OK with bottle diggers in your area?

    I've had three encounters with local police while digging, once at night, and each time was the same: It was never an issue for them after I explained my passion for the hobby. Obviously cooperate, explain clearly who you are and what you are doing, show ID and registration. The officer who...
