    Insulator Folks - what do you make of this one

    This is a great one...it's in such pristine condition for coming out of a dump! It's a CD 113 I think, although I'm not the best at IDing the insulators.

    Little Carters Indelible Ink Sample

    I was just looking through some bottles I'd washed recently. I almost always save out the little cork bottles I find, even if they're not that special just because I think the little ones are so cool (and I can get away with storing them easily!). Anyhow, I looked closer at this one and...

    You wouldn't believe it if I told you, but I'll tell you anyways...

    Some days fortune favors pure chance.... I was standing on top of one of my dirt piles from my early 1900s dump. I decided to dig a little hole to bury some odds and ends common bottles that I didn't want lying around to attract others to my dump. So I dug a hole, maybe 2'x2'x2'. The last...

    Whilst the snow flies - some Chems...

    Hello all. I think you can see in the background of my picture what's happening outside my window. Actually, it's not bad weather to dig in...I don't mind the cool, but I don't dig on Saturdays. So anyhow, I've had these chemical bottles, which I think are really cool, sitting around for a...

    Brrr...couple cold weather finds

    Where did the balmy digging weather go?? I woke up to an inch of snow this morning... Got out to dig yesterday. I've been trenching in the newer end of my dump. Based on the coins I've found, it's the late 30s and maybe some early 40s even. I'm mainly scratching for some nice milks...

    Little Lavender Mason

    Boy is this wamr weather ever nice! The digging is just starting to heat up again!!! And here's a tip for those of you who like to dabble in more than one hobby. When I do some sifting, I sift into a container I can take home with me. At the end of the day I have a nice package of beautiful...

    Lavender Masons...

    Hi all, Man, I typed this all up once already, and my computer timed me out, so here we go again... I didn't even notice the color of this little lavender bottle until I cleaned it out of my "wait to clean 'til later 'cause they're not that impressive" pile. (anyone else have one of those?)...

    Would this be considered an "anti-dig?"

    Hey everyone. I don't want to muddy up the "digging and finding" forum with this picture, but I think a lot of us cross hobbies in here. Me, I'm a "Metal-detecting, bottle-digging, insulator-snagging, etc" kind of guy. I'll be darned if these goofy poles weren't nearly in my own backyard and...

    I've got no clue what this one is...

    I suppose I should post this over on the other forum, but there's such great activity in here. Anyhow, this was my one find while digging for a few minutes this evening. It's got a very crude top, although it's not a pontilled bottle. The neck actually leans to one side a little. It hasn't...

    The ground was only frozen to 3" - then it's smooth diggin....

    Here are my finds today. There's a 10 cent token and a tag. A little tiny perfume or something with a little red bulb-cap. I've found a couple of these...just think they're fun. The Higgins ink is a little older than I typically find in my dump, and has a dulled appearance to it. There's a...

    An Insulator Amongst the Ice

    Oh man - winter is here! I'm now reduced to chipping off a 3 inch deep shell of frozen earth to access diggable dirt...and loving every minute of it. Actually, I prefer digging in the cold. Having grown up in on the shores of Lake Superior, I HATE the heat...this weather is wonderful. (It...

    Little Amber...

    Out digging today and was shoveling out my hole - nearly stuck the shovel in this guy. Guess I missed him with my rake. Not sure if it's even a poison, but a lot of times the amber and the many sides indicate a poison. What do you think?

    Little Amber was part of my haul - is it a poison?

    Hi all, Been back to digging since the weather's cooled. Came up with another high-dollar milk which I'll be listing on ebay soon. Also found this little amber with a nice lip. Looks like the rim and lip are tooled. Any ideas about it? Jim, is it a poison? Happy digging!! Tim

    Not a cistern - just a dump...

    Hey all Finally geting back out to do some digging. The bloomin hot weather in August always "de-spires" me, and I spend lots of time cleaning and sorting. I'd rather dig in 10 degree weather in January than 105 degrees in August. Anyhow, it's cooled of now, so out we go... I'm revisiting...

    Essentially skunked today, 'cept for some sodas

    Got out for an hour today before the festivities began. I think my "seam" ran out. I'm back into the more recent stuff. Found a few marbles and little pill bottles. Mainly lots of sweat and no finds. But, as dirtflickers thread proves, we're in it for more than that! Of course I still...

    Today's Digs - lots of little stuff....

    I'm in the posting rythm now!! Spent two hours at my dump today...most of it shoveling. There's 3-4 feet of fill and blocks on top of the money layer, so I've gotta spend a lot of time digging!

    Friday - An absolute heartbreaker, but I'll make do

    These are my finds from Friday. I'm finally in an exciting part of the dump. Being an old boarding school dump, I find TONS of food jars and lipsticks and shoe polish and average inks, but not much else. But this dump seam I'm in has some older stuff, and different. Well, I found a soda way...

    A Double-sided salt-shaker?? I'm stumped....

    My strange find from Friday. What is this? It reminds me of salt shakers I find, but it has a screws on top and bottom. The bottom is closed. Maybe they screwed a base on it? I'm posting some closeups of the lettering and what I think it says as well. Thanks for your help on this one...

    A Couple questions here...

    First, just a plain ol' bottle, but I've never found one in this size. It's a Chesebrough Vaseline, which I find by the bucketload, but I always find a smaller size. Are these bigger ones just as common, and my dump just doesn't contain many? Tim

    Fun finds today, and some questions

    Found a few bottles that I wanted to keep today. I'll go left to right: A Coca Cola - I think this is a syrup bottle. Anyone concur? You can't see the lettering on this one, but it's a "Little Bo-Peep Ammonia" bottle. Funny name. First one I've seen, but from my research they're...
