Kudzu Dump

I have to leave, but I have a bucket of bottles and a good starter hole going. I'll post the pics when I get this stuff cleaned up. Here is the hole after 2 hours of digging. Not bad for a 56 year old.

Yeah that's some nasty stuff. We don't have that yet. Keep it down there.

Clean those bottles up and lets get a look at them. Keep digging. The good stuff is yet to come.

hey nice hole there, im just wondering where do you live?

 

[logueb]

Yes Julie and Joel, That is some bad stuff. Right now it's in the dormant state and only the vines are showing. Come spring all you will be able to see is leaves covering everything. And I don't walk where I can't see the ground in the summer.

The dump is appearing to be toc to twenties. I'll try to get some pics posted tommorow.

Bevyn, I live in Georgia, south of Augusta.

It must be nice to not have to use a pick axe to get through the icy dirt! When I retire someday I'm gonna buy a dumpsite down south to dig in the winters.

Hey Buster, I am 54 so I feel your pain on a hole that big[&o] Can't wait to see the finds all cleaned up. Good luck, Marvin

Come on down Zane, There's plenty of dumps to dig and you can dig year round. We just don't have the abundance of great bottles like you guys up North do. They recycled everything to the point of no use down here. That great 1860's stuff is hard to locate.

Pic of Sunday's finds. Not great but it will help identify the age of the dump.

Here's a pic of the four that were side by side on the very bottom. Two toc beers, a Chero-Cola and a Bimal sealed chemical/med. bottle.

The Chero Cola is in near mint condition. No stains or sick glass on this one. It looks like one of those that have been tumbled.
