Back to the Old dump

Whitehurst, probably common, but my first.

I call the 1/2 ox. cobalt one a poison because of the ribbed front panel. Would that make it one?

Thanks for looking, and good luck digging.

What is the pinkish colored bottle in a group shot on page 1? I like it! Like you said, TOC treasures are there waiting to be discovered. I really go for the old stuff, but one of my favorite finds is a little Jade-ite bowl I use for salt when I'm cooking.

I forgot to add the 1930-40's nursers we have dug with cats, dogs, etc. on them.

Thanks for looking Lauren. I think that I see the one you are talking about. The one in the cleaned group picture on the left? Just a plain ol amber unembossed med bottle . This camera is way past it's time and does strange things at night especially with colors.

Hey Logub, I've got one of those 1/2 ounce cobalts too- it had some dark liquid in it when i dug it and some rubber stopper- mine is 2 and 3/4s in. Cleveland's bottle pricing guide lists it as an iodine bottle- cool stuff!

Thanks for the info Asterisk. Iodine would put it in the medicines.

Yeah Brian, One muddy mess to try digging in.

Thanks Sam. Wow, first one of these that I have dug in 40 years of digging, and one pops up half way across the country . That's what I like about the forum. The sharing experiences on digging.

This dump has not produced anything near what those privys up North produce. But it's like 5 minutes from the house and a place to kill an hour or two of time when I can get away. Went for a little while yesterday and rainwater was seeping up into the hole. Got skunked. One abm ink. Just too much water and mud to deal with. Tried bailing with the 5 gallon bucket, but just couldn't keep ahead of the water.

I jump into the hole and go almost up to my knees in mud. The pic didn't come out too good. That's my legs to the left and the shovel is in the middle.
