    Canadian Spring / part the 3rd

    To say there's a lot of work in this dump is a bit lame, but even so, its giving up a really nice collection o goodies. I thought I'd just post a few pics of some of it, and we only started to dig last summer. These are what I've found to date.... The sodas alone have made it...

    Canadian Spring

    This could be the earliest my buddy and I have being out digging, pickings were a little slim. Still, the good thing about this dump is, we have it all to ourselves, it covers about an acre, the down side is, because its on fractured limestone they went with a scorched earth policy. We...

    Ashes - Saturday

    Well after the rain, and my lady was away for the day, left me the proverbial "to do list". But she forgot that an old mans mind is forgetful, mine took me to the ole dump, it remembers only the important things!! So I dug for ever, moving ash with nothing to show for it, so I moved...

    Ashes to Ashes - Tuesday

    Was able to get out of the house for a couple of hours, nice relaxing day moving ash and today ...trees! And the dump is only a 3 min drive. I think i said in an earlier post that this dump is on shallow rock, so they went with a "scorched earth" policy, they needed the room. Most of the...

    Ashes to Ashes

    Its being not a bad year for digging, up here in the North. It started out kinda slow, but after much searching I was able to find the main dump, this one as lots of great broken and ASH. It seems there was really nothing but ASH, you could go for hours moving it with almost nothing to show...

    New Digs

    Last year I went looking for dumps in the village I just moved to, found a dump, but it was on surface limestone and very shallow. Still, dug a bit but mosty it was broken, it was pretty disappointing. So this year I went back and searched the landscape and found the main dump, its still...

    Last finds of 2010

    Well the snow is finally disappearing, the river is rising, the Canada Geese are messing up the landscape, and its a time when an old mans thoughts turn to DIGGING. Still, grounds still frozen, a time to look back on the last days of 2010, and the finds thereof. When I found this Shell oil...

    A.R.G Peden Ginger Beer

    Looking for info on this Carlton Place bottle, it's the blob top quart. I just picked it up in Florida of all places. And it's in great condition. No chips or cracks, just a small broken surface bubble at the back. Also as the wire closure.

    Fall digging 2

    Everytime I think its at an end for the year we get yet another great day in the northlands. The dump I'm in right now is about 10 min. from the house, we're digging along an old country trail. If I decide to dig the trail itself I'll make sure I move the car first, else it'll become part...

    Village Dumps

    With any new home town its got to be checked out, I've been here just over a year. This is an old mining and lumber town with lots of foundations around, plus was a mecca for the early sports fishermen in the mid to late 1800's. Was talking to a chap the other day here in the village, he's...
