Congratulation for these finds! Wonderfull!!
What is that circular thing left close to the thin bottle?
Is it a kind of stopper?
Thanks, truedigr

Took theonlykikki to the dump today. This was her first time digging and she had excitement in her eyes. It took about 3 hours to get to the bottom and worked her tail off all day. A fellow digger joined us and he dug in a separate hole. Let's just say she ended up with a nice collection in one day. I only took one bottle home, some marbles, a couple stoppers, 3 doll arms and a larger size stoneware Weir Jar lid. My buddy took a few bottles and some odds and ends home. We gave her all the rest. It was a chore lugging her bottles to the truck, but well worth it. Here is what I brought home.

The one bottle. A local drug store.

I put the other tiny Weir lid found last week in next to the one found today for size comparison.

My find of the day is this Christensen brick marble from the teens. The big banana catseye was found on the way. 99% of the marbles are either clay or Bennington. The glass ones, if you are lucky enough to find one, are Christensen or German swirls. I have found one Indian in the past, but no sulphides yet.

My digging partner, Robert. We have dug for probably close to 20 years.
