Consequently, they are on or very close to the surface, with very thin overgrowth on top. They are also easy to dig because they are shallow, and once you hit the Canadian Shield a foot or two down, you know you've reached bottom. I have several nice handmade specimens in my collection from Northern Ontario dumps. The best is the 8-ounce Hartz to the left of this pic:It was found in a dump not far from Blind River, Ontario, which goes along nicely with its cousin to the right, which came out of the basement of a pharmacy in the same town. Great looking blue bottles.
