I have a not sure what kind of bottle deep dark green bottle may be pop but this bottle has a pintail so deep it's scary. Heavy duty thick glass nice dark green lip on bottle looks popish but don't think so shorter than a old heinze ketchup bottle but the pintail at least 2in across and easily 2in up in bottle never seen one ever no printing what so ever and believe me I've seen alot bottles never the bottle anywhere wine maybe but only 6to 8 in talk thick nice bottle almost clear green but it's dark green as heck heavy to any guesses I'd have seen more of them but that's why I want to know only 1

not sure what those last posts have to do with my dig , anyways I had been back , bugs are really bad but didn't stay long

found some more broken pop bottles but missing bottoms that would have dates on them but appear to be 50's 60's era . was some coca cola , pepsi cola and Hires root beer . also found a clear milk jug but doesn't appear to have writing on it , but dump hasn't yielded anything else too exciting aside from the north bay bottle

also found a really old rusty bicycle rim

went back to this dump after not have been there all summer , was too many bugs and too wet , now its a heat wave here so at least no bugs but very warm even in the shady bush . didn't stay for long but found a new area of bottles and junk not far from other piles .

found parts of 2 broken 30 oz bottles , one you can see is for "muskoka dry ginger ale " and other was a tiny part of a "temagami dry ginger ale " bottle . also found a 7 oz 7 up bottle .

as well as some sauce , ketchup bottles and jars , also found what appears to be an old ice cram scoop .

found an old ice cream scoop and the mechanism on it still works and metal piece that goes around the scoop also still moves , not even that dirty for being in a pile of dirt for so long
