Early morning quick dig.

[RoyalRuby]

It's been about a year and half since I've actually dug in a dumpsite, Had the itch so I went back early this morning to a big dump just down the road from me that dates for the majority the early 40's to the late 50's, I mainly wanted to grab the pint flasks I had left behind on previous visits and try for a few more Packie style beers, I did dig for about an hour and nothing special, two more Packie beers (one with a broken neck), I do collect those so I guess one more good one is better than none. Another local milk from my hometown, Sinclair quart, Golden Wedding, I'll be back when the weather cools down.

There are always distractions/responsibilities. I see nothing negative with getting out there once a year or so. If you took a survey, the results would say many of us have sites that aren't finished and merit periodic revisiting. Yes, lately the heat has been a bit much--even here in the new American Garden Spot (CT). As an admitted Boomer, I take to heart the phrase "Be safe, do what you can, and live to dig again, another day."

This dumpsite is way bigger than I at first thought it was, I've only scratched the surface as far as I'm concerned, it's on a rather steep hill, so when I start digging in, I always have to move up the hill some but I didn't really finish where I started. It's also close to a parking area so I have to be rather discreet when I'm digging there, after about an hour of digging I'm whipped anyway and make a return trip at a later date when the "Itch to dig" returns...lol .

Nice finds! And it's nice to have a place to go when you get the itch it will sooth it!

Archaeologists have a saying- "Take it down to the alluvial till/sterility." (Which for a bottle digger means nothing but dirt and tiny glacial rocks.) You may or may not chose to go that far. )
