    Dug 3 Jugs Last Weekend !!!! Lot's o' bottles too.

    I've spent the last few days digging a dump that I stumbled across as a youngster but never dug it right. When I went back I was amazed at how stupid I was not to have dug it long before now.....It was big and old!!! After sizing the place up I started digging and within 30 seconds I thumped...

    Man Dies in Burning Outhouse

    Guess you really never know what you may find when digging. Can't be the first time this has happened. http://www.dailyindia.com/show/45994.php/Man-dies-in-burning-outhouse Now that's what you call EXPLOSIVE diarrhea. Poor guy though, what a horrible way to go.

    JUMPED THE FENCE

    Jumped the fence at the construction site my digging partner found. They exposed a brick lined privy right at the edge of the property. It was a nice quiet Sunday so I drove right up, put on my orange safety vest and hard hat and walked right over the fence. People were coming and going...

    We hit a massive dump today and found what may be the best all season, we shall see. It says "N.A. WHITE, UTICA NY". Perfect mint condition. The only problem is my partner found it [:(] Good thing we made a deal that we would split anything worth $500 or more.[:D] Based on some recent...

    First Poison of the Year

    So I went out a few days ago into the frozen tundra. The site is a solid 1920-1950's dump, not something I would dig in the summer. I figured it would be fun to smash into it in the winter, maybe get a few milks or Cokes. So after about 10 minutes with the sledge hammer I broke...

    Poison Ivy Dump

    Here is a dump we found about a year ago. We were actually out fishing and came across this ravine with a nice old dump in it. Started to dig around and determined that it had never been dug. Found tons of nice bottles and alot of rare broken bitters and schnapps. This dump was shallow and...
