OMG! Cabin fever is killing me with this stuff.Can't wait to go to the ol' Glen Rock dump and do a little exploring!
Won't be long now,hopefully.You keep posting pics like this and I'll have to break out the tunnel bar and hack through the frozen dirt!My wife and I are going to the Baltimore bottle show tommorow.That's just going to make it even more of an imperative to go diggin

Just be careful friend them ash dumps will get ya if u ain't watching. me and diggin partner was in one once on the side of a hill he had a hole started under a big bush. figured that might b purty safe. wrong!!! that bush popped loose and about 15 tons of dirt slide down the hill on us we was lucky it only covered us bout our waists we took some dandy bottles and jugs out though got to get back there sometime we picked up 1890's embossed druggists on the ground fore we ever started digging

John, whats embossed on that little clear druggist in the front?? whosyerdaddy!!!!

 

[portland med. man]

the lock on the right side says b&m r.r and i assuming it stands for b&m baked beans rail road, the dump im diggin is within 20 miles of the bean factory..... i cant remember what the little druggist says but was a local portland druggist. hope to find many more bottles there... 2 locks and identity badge , and that AAA badge keep em coming , i found another once AAA maine and smold it for forty bucks now i wish i hadn`t... here`s another pic of that juggie in the hole.....
