I love old meds.  Too bad this was not a keeper.  Birchfield's Female Regulator Atlanta, Ga.

Did you ever finish that dump at the train trestle?

I never made it to the bottom around the bridge posts. The creek began to rise and has been flooded ever since. Can't wait till the creek goes down. May be more sodas there.

Thanks Jamie. I like those Atlanta meds. Seems like Birchfield have several remedies. I got a Jacob's Pharmacy somewhere.

Just a brief update on this post. Cleaned up the hubcap just enough to get an idea of it's age. Now it's ready for "American Pickers" if they ever come by[][][]

Turns out that it is a 1933-1935 center cap for a wire wheel for a Chevrolet. That is in line with the date of stuff just above the rust layer. Here's a fuzzy pic of a replacement hubcap sold today.

Made a quick run to the dump yesterday afternoon for about an hour (in the rain). Only found one bottle worth posting.

Wadley, Ga. NuGrape. I was hoping that it would be clear glass, but when it was cleaned it was a light green.

Close-up on the embossing. Thanks for looking. And Good Luck digging. Keep hoping that the streak that I'm digging in is going to run into something older. So I'll just keep slinging the mud till a better digging site comes along. Buster

Tried several new spots in the dump. Just got wore out with all that mud. Here's a starter hole next to some old tin and hog wire. I saw an old photograph of this area in the 1960s. They were using this area over the old dump to raise hogs and cows.

Just a few inches down, this pops out. My first "double" . One bottle inside another. The milkglass looks like a mentholatum jar.
