I like the advertising crock prices run from $50 and up. I can’t see the Aqua embossing on the one in the middle. The end one is a slick and I have no idea value. You need better pictures to evaluate. Hard to tell the age without clearer pictures, pictures of the bottoms would help.

Called a tank probe. It is what most diggers use. The length is what you have to think about. I know people that have 12 foot plus probes. I have a 5 foot and it works most of the time. Depends on what you are doing. You could just get a length of round spring steel and weld it to a 5 inch piece...
At one point in the beginning I would work for anyone. After I got more people using me I found I didn’t have time for those impatient Idoits. I work hard! No more day before yesterday jobs and I feel and sleep so much better.

It is a spot I know. It is not a dump as we know it but a personal one used by who ever sold a lot of cokes and a few other non embossed drinks. 1923 cokes. Most are broken. I probed around the area good and got any full ones. Where are you on the Hudson?

Older area are a better than newer ones. You have to look for old foundations along rivers or in woods. Keep an eye out for any broken glass on the surface. What area are you around if you don’t mind.

I live in one of the most densely populated part of New Jersey and still manage to find my fair share of dumps and surface finds. Some of the 1920-30’s spots go back to the mid 1800’s. The older stuff is just not on the surface like the newer ones.

A little grit goes a long way. It needs to break down to even a finer grit. If you put too much it doesn’t break down and leaves a white haze. This might just be my machine but you have to learn by trial and error on your homemade machine. What is the RPM’s on a 4” tube?
