I have dug in this dump for many years off and on. Found a few hours lately to do a little digging. This dump was partially dug years ago, but the diggers did not dig to the bottom in some areas. Some places have three feet of dirt piled on top.[attachment=2-17-15 003.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 001.JPG] Large soda or beer. Not embossed

[attachment=2-17-15 004.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 006.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 007.JPG] There is a rust layer below the previously dug area that had not been dug. Here is a Lutz Bros. No. 55 jar. I could not locate any info on this jar.

Pre-prohibition Flask, Frog Pond Chill & Fever Tonic, and what was probably an ink.[attachment=2-17-15 004.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 003.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 005.JPG]

And then I find what appears to be just a plain small cobalt bottle. To my suprise it was a Skull and Crossbones poison. I also posted it on the Poison Forum. Thanks for looking. Buster[attachment=2-17-15 009.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 011.JPG] [attachment=2-17-15 012.JPG]

Nice finds. It must be nice to dig right now. Covered in snow and cold weather here.

I'm glad to see you postings digs again! Always like looking at what you come up with. That poison is a really cool find, I've only ever found the more common amber poisons, nothing with the skull and crossbones motif. Also, I hope that small-town Chero Cola is in good shape, I just checked eBay and 2 sold for a bit over 100 bucks each. Purdy nice!
