Went back to the site two days ago. Got full permission but found nothing else. Here's some interesting history as researched by Fenian (Michael) from the Canadian Metal Detecting Forum:
Just for interest, your medicine bottle dates between 1910 and 1922.
Research was a bit challenging on this...
Thanks All. I'll be going back there and will ask for permission to dig freely. How far down should I go? The bottle was found in the front yard near the corner of the front foundation.
hi all. I was walking home the other day past an old house being renovated and I thought to myself - I wonder if there are any old bottles here? I thought I was seeing things when I spied in the corner of the yard a bottle. Sure enough, I found myself a lovely mint condition cork top local...
Hi All. New to forum and to bottle digging. I have been metal detecting for years and know that there is no such thing as a hunted out spot or location - that there are many places yet to yield potential finds. Is it the same for bottle digging?
There were a ton of rusted cans, oil cans and tobacco tins at the dump I found but all in pretty bad shape. If I come across some in better shape I'll get them for you.

I am interested in both but need to get a probe for the privies. I have dug a few forest dumps. Fun for sure and am hoping to find some older sites.
Hi everyone. I'm new to bottle collecting and digging. If anyone could help share their experience on finding places to dig etc and how to get started I would really appreciate it! I live in Vancouver Canada
