Hi group what a week! My neighbor came over last night on her 4 wheeler and opened the saddle bags... Out came a cathedral pickle bottle, Warners cures and others! She told me how the 4 wheeler trail went right across this old glass dump and this is what she found with a stick!!! She told us where it was located and 20 minutes later we were there.. this was 7PM!! within a hour we found 10 warners bottles, a tippiecanoe bitters, yellow plantation bitters, and this way cool what I believe as a scarce light house style Bunker hill peppersauce!![8D] To be cont. Taz[:)]

I'd say that's a pretty good find. It'll surprise you. You will go over something all your life and never see it until one day.

Sweet Bottle, Taz........
Those are the kind of dumps you dream about.
They come few and far between, but when you hit one it makes it all worthwhile.
Post some more pictures when you get a chance.

Well folks I went back to the glory hole today and dug like a tazmainien devil lol... Nothing great... hard to believe but true! After finding all those teasers the other night I expected this to be a great find... today it was blah.. some L.F Atwoods bitters,a shear top ink with no embossing, a Dr Kilmers ground lip U & O Anointment, a Var-ne-sis in aqua and a highly embossed Larkin co.milk glass cold cream with a good cover... All in all about 15 " good" bottles " came from this small dump, the best being the bunker hill sauce and the Warners bottles...I thoroughly probed the area and I believe it is spent... Well off to find another spot.... Happy Digg'n! Taz
