I had a half day of school today so I decided to go digging in the amazing dump ive been digging in alot lately. Like I always say, this dump is just incredible; its given Joey and I over half of our local Ellicott City milks and easily $500+ worth of local milks. Once again, I found some nice ones today including 4 half pint Rockland Dairy bottles. These half pints from this dairy werent previously known. Everyone thought that the Rockland Dairy only used quarts and pints but after digging this dump, we now know that they used half pints but they are much rarer than the pints or quarts. Apparently I hit a really lucky pocket today [:D]. I also got a quart Newton Farm Dairy bottle which isn't very hard to find and also a scarce ACL Dunloggin Farm Dairy bottle that I didn't have. Unfortunatly the Dunloggin doesnt have much of any paint left and it has some small dings but Ill keep it until I get a replacement. The same one with perfect ACL was just sold on ebay for $310.
Here is a pic of the group of cleaned up local milks.

You guys continue pulling some great milks from that dump, it really is impressive! I've only found a few unlisted milks in my digging around here but unfortunately the best one (totally unlisted company in business between 1907-1912) had the bottom busted out. One day I'll get a good one...

Do either of you have access to an eBay account that you can sell with? It would be a nice way to get rid of some extras, determine present market values, and to network with other local collectors. The cash is always a good thing as well. [:)]

Thanks for looking. It really is amazing to have a place like this to dig. Plumbata. I sell items on ebay regularly(usually every week). I have sold quite a few doubles of milks from this dump so far; the best one got me about $50.00.
