    New to hobby digging Post 1900s trash dump on family property.

    Post a picture of the cans if you can, HemiHampton and I both collect them. They should have 2 triangle holes at the top. If they are older, they could have 1 large one.

    Yes it is. I did find a smaller one that day as well. I still have to clean it.

    1st bottle dig of the year

    I believe it was a Grand Rapids diary or creamery. I'm not 100 percent sure. Unfortunately it was broke at the top when I found it last time.

    1st bottle dig of the year

    Nothing compared to the stuff I usually see on here but some cool stuff I think. My favorite is the Greenville/Ionia bottling works. Looks early 20's. Most of the other stuff I found was late 20's to the late 30's. Also found some good beer cans from the era. I used a homemade bottle probe for...

    Very nice finds Leon. How do you use a bottle probe? Do you stick it in the ground and listen for noise? Is it possible to use any steel rod temporally until I can get/make one? I could use one this week.

    More Construction finds today.

    The big dump there would be fun to dig. I'm now very limited on where I can dig 'round here thanks to the DNR and the fact that most I've dumped out. Still lots of potential up north.

    Bottle diggin in December?

    That whiskey bottle is prohibition era. No "federal law forbids" on it. The house im digging at was a resort from the 1880's to the late 30's. There was a secret bar in the basement. Those are two later beer cans from the late 30's.

    Bottle diggin in December?

    Went to my Grandmas house for one of the last digs I'll ever do there. Found some beautiful stuff. I've seen these type of bottles before but cant remember any info about them. Anyone know about it? Thanks.

    "THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN"-- must be great to have lasted so long!

    Those are common on post prohibition bottles. Just found some whiskeys today, they are from the 20's and still have labels on them. Let that sink in.....

    I've dug in Morely too. The RR tracks have bottles on the sides and also there is a good sized Insulator dump there too.

    The good ones were busted!

    I think Muskegon was bought by Grand Rapids before the war, I've seen and had pre war bottles that were brewed in Muskegon by the Grand Rapids brewing company, if my memory is correct. Leon would know, he has 100s of labeled Michigan bottles :D
