RE: One days worth of bottles

About 2 years ago, I spent the weekend in Columbus area looking for Dumps. Far drive for me being from Detroit. I collect Beer cans & found lots of Beer Can Bar dumps. If you come across any Beer Cans let me know. I'd be Interested in them[:D] LEON.

Hey Leon, I came across dozens of beer cans, all rusted beyond recognition. Many had been opened with a church key too.

I can fix rusty beyond recognition Cans. Here a example of a only half fixed can. What I call my infamous half & half can done for experimental purposes. LEON.

Impressive. If I ever come across any "rusty beyond recognition" cans I'll save them.

All depends on rarity & condition, Some nothing, some $1.00, some $100+. $1,000+ on extremely rare occasions. LEON.

Just got in from digging the old dump site. My back may never be the same but I did get 8 6oz Cokes with town names I didnt have before. I dug another wheelbarrow's worth of Columbus GA Cokes. If you need any of these let me know. A couple of 6oz 7UP bottles, Royal Crown and Nehi ACLs, and a Log Cabin syrup bottle I am letting them soak in soapy water except the ACLs. Once they are clean I will get some pictures posted.

I dug many cans but they were like the rest, rusted thin metal no color at all.
