Back To the OL Trestle Dump

I guess that's how petrified wood gets its start. This thing has probably been under water for 75 to 100 years. I'm hoping that the water will go back down soon. Until then. Buster

And a sawed off timber slice. I thought that this thing was so cool. No telling how long that's been lying in the mud.

That would make a nice display piece.

Thanks Buster,...always love to see your posts and hear your viewpoints...

Thanks Joe and Laur. I also enjoy reading your posts and following your adventures. You have to get out there and explore and look and probe and dig. You won't find the good ones just lying there on the surface waiting for you. Sometimes it takes a lot of work and patience for the good ones. I had a few minutes between cutting grass and doing fire reports yesterday evening. The creek is still up so I worked the bank under that large trestle timber. Well, hard work and patience paid off. A nice Chero Cola, Straight sided Coke, Lime Cola and NuGrape. Plus a ton of broken ones. So tired of lip chipped bottles.

The Straight Sided Coke is from a local bottler, Swainsboro,Ga. No chips and a nice bubble in the glass. It was about four feet down in the mud, underneath the layer of 20s Lime Colas and Nugrapes.

The Chero Cola was also from a local bottler, Waynesboro,Ga. No lipchip and a nice bottle. This one was also about four feet in the mud and sand. I'm hoping the water will soon go back down so I can work the creek bed. Should I continue updating this thread or start a new one each time? Buster

Using the same thread suits me. And Laur's right; that kewl piece of wood would be on the mantle. If'n I had a mantle.

Thanks Jimbo. I'm hoping to get a good dig in the creek bed soon. I've moved a ton of brick,rocks, and metal so far. It appears that the deeper that I dig, the older the bottles are. I'll keep you folks posted if anything interesting is found. Buster

Hey, count the rings and find how old the tree was when it was cut down.

Thanks for looking Geezer. The best that I could come up with was 50.
