Looks like alot of fun & your finding some decent stuff. Hopefully you'll find some older bottles soon. What was the embossing on the 1/2 gallon mason jar?
The mason jar was a clear slick - had a lightning bail, it might also have been a milk jug. I'll clean it up and post a pic. Here's the 1920's orange crush that came up - a nice addition
Looks to be some pretty easy digging there once you find the spot. Is that a crock in the back left of the group photo? Nice family dig Dan, keep at it.
Here's those vaseline shards that I found - this stuff is so cool. We have a very nice family vaseline collection that i will have to post another time.
