Check out this site, privyprobe.com. Or use something similar. If the dump is not too big, dig the whole thing ! Do it while your still young ! lol Seriously, then are even some good bottle after 1900. Don't be afraid to get dirty. Keep anything embossed or unusual until you find out what you have. And by all means have fun ! And if no one has said it welcome to the forum ! Mitch

If it is a dump, dig test pits to look for sign....ash, glass fragments, shells. Follow the shards to the whole bottles!
