Tried searching an area again that I went to two years ago, one of the worst hikes I've ever done, just so over-grown and thick, it was a major battle trying to get to the spots I wanted, finally gave up and worked my way back to the main road, even that sucked but better than the way I went into the area, and as if to slap me in the face I found one lonely beer bottle from '76 lol. Finally back to my car, I decided to hit a dump right around the corner from where I was, dug there two years ago and found some Packies and was hoping for a few more, no luck. Oddly I found an early 16oz? clear beer bottle laying right on top of the former house foundation as if thrown there yesterday, O inside a square bottle mark makes it an early Owens made bottle prior to merging with Illinois, much earlier than the stuff in the dump that was only a few feet from where I found it. The Lawson's milk would have been nice if it didn't have a hole in it, I kept it until a better one comes along. A few marbles and what looks to be a small wall mount planter? Not sure what the bottle is next to the amber beer bottle, never dug one before so I brought it back. A lot of hiking and work for minimal return, oh well, that's how it goes sometimes, still fun to get out........
