Today's dig

It was a cool morning so I spent some time at the dump. Only got a few common inks, a couple large Vaseline, an unembossed amber chemical or medicine bottle with unusual(at least to me) mold seams and a cool Okland Chemical Co H2O2 bottle. Also got what appears to be an Ivory ring about 2 7/8"...

Finds digging in boxes

Just got permission to return to the dump we skimmed as kids. The same day it started raining and has been wet since. Decided to dig through some of the finds from years past and share a couple pictures to keep me going until I can get to the dirt.

Looking forward

My first post. As a teen in the 60's an old dump on the outskirts of town and the bottles it held probably saved me from a life of crime. Now after 30+ years as a police officer I am excited to be in a position to get back at it. After reading the forums during the winter I am itching to...
