Dug some nice Local Soda's this morning

I got a lead on a old house site on the river that was cleared for a new house. I found a nice gulley dump on the hillside behind it. I dug three scarce local Jumbo Soda's with the embossed Elephant. 2 were 8 oz and one was 7 1/2 oz. The 7 1/2 is a nice light purple color. All three are very nice. I dug 4 others but they were chipped etc. I also got a scarce paper label 1st type Jackson Tenn Pepsi Cola Code dated 1930 (that's the year Pepsi Came here) It has Jackson Tenn on the bottom and a pebble effect to the glass from the shoulder up. I also got a few ACL's I am letting dry and a scarce Raised Letter Jackson Tenn Dr Pepper. There was a ton of stuff in it for it only to be about 10 x 10 and 3 deep. Most was just standard household junk. The Soda's made my day the Jumbo's are very tough to find they were very short lived here. All three had the local city on the bottom. BOB

Here's a closeup of the Elelphant and Jumbo. I still have some stuff soaking and some drying. Wish there was more there but I smoked that little spot. I may go back and do some more probing later in the week. bob
