Great dig with a buddy and his friend, found cures, advertising and more!

[PlaneDiggerCam]

My digging buddy had invited me and one of his buddies to come to dig at one of his spots today. We didn't find to much to start, but I decided to explore past the rocky portion of the dump and I saw tons of 1880 shards downsteam between large bolders. We dug and found a ton of good 1890s era loot. Then we decided to quit when the pocket was starting to stop and explore. We walked for awhile and came across an old car in the woods and a large 1950s dump. I was excited to find a metal milk crate and a great advertising piece. Unfortunately, the sun started to set so we packed up and left. We will definitely need to return to both spots that we had dug at!

Here are the finds!

Back from left to right:
Ball Sure Seal, Dr. Lesure's Liniment Kene N.H., Williams & Carleton Company Hartford, Conn., Todd's Emollient (rare cure from New London, CT), Charles Gulden New York Prepared Mustard, and a Bromo.
Front from left to right:
Omega Oil, Clay pipe marked T.D. with most of the stem, and part of a plastic Manchester, Conn. Goodyear advertising ice scraper.


The three best bottles. The Todd's Emolient is even rarer in amber, the cobalt version is much more known.

Awesome advertising! Its a piece of a plastic ice scraper, probably late 1950s.

Old car, anyone know the type? The only emblem was a V8.

The milk crate!

Again, we need to go back! I have a feeling that this is only the begining!

Thanks for reading,

Some nice Medicine Bottles. The car looks to be around 1950, not sure what kind it is? Probably be better to go back in fall when there is less weeds & foliage blocking your view. Foliage & weeds can hide alot of stuff. Good Luck. LEON.

I like the late fall or better early spring. Like you said no leaves on the undergrowth to block your line of sight. Also no bugs.

If you look at the tail light there is probably a date code printed and a number for that part. Google maybe able to tell you the rest. I no one knows for sure.

I think that it is a 1952 Ford Customline from a bit of reaserch, but Im not 100% sure on that.

The foliage actually looks much worse in that phot than it actually was. This place is better to explore in the summer becuase you can creekwalk the creek near the car and find bottles and other interesting things which is how we came accross the car in the first place. Foliage is definintely my enemy though, especially bittersweet!

Poison ivy is my arch nemesis.

I do swamps and riverbeds in the summer especially during a drought.

I think you are right. They were made from 1952-1954.

Nice finds and love that car picture! I take pix of old cars too when I see 'em. Last one I found was (remains of ) a 1951 Nash.
