Back To the OL Trestle Dump

[Plumbata]

Hey there Buster, glad to see that the 'ole trestle "dump" is still producing! Back in the 1910s-30s it must have been quite the hangout for the local younguns. I wonder if any old-timers are still alive who remember going to that place in their youth, sitting on the bridge with their legs dangling lazily over the edge, fishing or swimming and drinking their air-temperature cane sugar-sweetened sodas. []

That location is truly impressive, please keep us updated when you go back again after the water level decreases. I have no familiarity with most of the bottles you have recovered, but they are very attractive pieces whatever the scarcity. Thanks for sharing!

I decided to dig in the stream bed since the water was only knee deep because of the drought. There are still bottles in the stream bed unter tons of bricks, rocks, and trash.

Buster,...really good to see you digging and posting , and the Trestle dump always looks like a fun spot to dig....The water looks cool and inviting. Is it true that one can "watch "kudzu" grow?[]

Finding that straight sided coke makes the dig well worth the effort.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I hope to get more dug out of the creek channel before the winter rains brings up the water level. Even though the water was cool, the humidity is a killer. Buster
