Rest of yesterday and today's digging, three more mason jars (Ball 6G and a 4, thought they were the same until I cleaned them up), two 3 cent quart milk bottles (think I'll use CLR with and the drill technique I saw on a different thread to clean the rust out), a small Vicks vaporub, and 3 more oil cans. Really liking the new esso one.

50 bottles of bleach in the ground...

42 Fleecy White Quart (10 with cap)
3 Fleecy White Quart (taller variety)
2 Fleecy White 1/2 Gallon (finger ring)
1 Fleecy White 1/2 Gallon (no ring)
Bonus Clorox Quart and Texize 1/2 Gallon

Lots of them still have liquid in them, not to enthused about that.

Also, I've found a few cans, but simply touching them with the minimum force required to lift them causes them to apparate...View attachment 206861
Love your finds and your friend there. Nice to clean up the property also... Win win situation.

Yeah, can't stop winning, lol. I just realised it was your thread with the copper wool, a drill, and CLR. THANKS!

Found some more stuff this morning, ice cream scoop still works (just needs a handle), cleaned up the Bud can, it's certainly a unicorn for that dump and it didn't disintegrate after looking at it...

The Budweiser cans seems to be from early to mid 1970's because most Budweisers Pre 1970 will say TAB TOP around very bottom of can in the bottom white band. The only thing slightly odd about it is it only has 4 cities listed, by the 70's there usually had 5, 6, or 7 cities listed. LEON.

the dump isn't really that old but its still yielded some interesting stuff

i find modern aluminum budwesier cans all the time , never found a metal one though , makes me wonder what year they started to sell it in Canada or when it became popular here ? seems like it didn't arrive till a bit later
