Ran into a batch of Nu Icys. There must have been twenty or thirty. All Nu Icys, no Nu Grapes. All were broken, except one rust encrusted one.

It cleaned up well. I'll try to clean up the rest if anyone is interested. And I'll update if I find anything else . Thanks for looking. And good luck to all the diggers. Buster.

It cleaned up real nice.  Appears to have that vaseline look to the glass, not the real clear kind.  It is marked on the base as Hazel Atlas.  Any ideas what it held?

Thanks to all for looking and the replies.

Mr. Fred, that mud is a mess. Just can't keep it outta the way. I'm afraid that I'll miss something in the mud.
Julie, Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I also found a smaller cruet. It's in the cleaned up group picture.
Judu. A little cleansing powder and a lot of elbow grease will clean most up . Still woking on trying to set us up a Friday or saturday dig. Right now my schedule is so tight that I can only manage an hour or two dig now and then.
Jamie, I gotta get out there and brave the elements for the good folks of the forum. I know that a lot of folks don't care for the 20s and 30s dumps, but there are some jewels waiting to be had for a little work.
Kyle, For some unknown reason, bottles sealed in a layer of wet mud sometimes clean up real well. May have something to do with the absence of air. However, there is a putrid stale odor in this layer.
Mike, I haven't forgoten about the Tenn. Lime Cola. Send me a PM with an address and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks again for looking. Here's another group from the muddy dump.

I had the itch to go digging yesterday something fierce, but the rain came down all day long until after dark. So I went to the shop and did some cleaning up. Here's some cleaned up.
