Went out with my metal detector for a bit on Sunday. After a bit of a walk to the area along the river it got a signal that sounded good. Dug it up and it was a spoon but in the dirt was a small med bottle. Since I was planning on probing around I just started turning the dirt. 5 hrs later I was beat but now have a large dump to go back to. Here are the ones I carried out .

They look like nice old ones, I'd go back & dig for more. Congrats, LEON.

Looks like a good "transitional" dump...1900-1920 or so. Could be some good sodas, pharmacies, and milks! Good luck!

That's a nice haul. Good to see some larger survivors.

Still have a 40 x 10 area to go thru. Saw a bitters bottle fragment and the area dates back to a settled area from the early 1700's so hoping there are some early bottles. Found my only onion bottle not far from the site.

That is some kind of extreme top on the tall aqua oval!

I've found 5 of those oval bottles with that type of top.3 are blue and 2 clear ones. Maybe a local product. Hopefully going back out this weekend.
