    Pictures with some of my finds, finally

    I know I found that dump long time ago but I didn't find many things worthy for the high standard of this forum. It's something wrong with that place. I pulled out bottles from a meter underground and they are still flaking and are sick like an albino parrot. Why? Saturday I digged for four...

    Local milk

    Today, coming home from work I stoped for ten minutes (I was in hurry to pick my wife from work) in that place where I found the internal threded bottle. I was checking for signs if it was a proper dump. The presence of some bed frames and other big stuff reassure me that is not simply a place...

    Nothing to say, nothing to post

    Hi everybody, Here I stay, reading about what other people have digged lately, found in rivers or bought in markets, and I have nothing. My parents are here for a month long visit and I have no time to look for new stuff in river, and the new bottles I have, well, I cannot post any pictures...
