Thats a bummer, a lot of dumps are dug up and disposed of, (where in they burn it and destroy the glass), and no one gets to enjoy the bottles. Im sure you would if you could but it would be great to get some more guys in there before it all gets hauled away!

great finds, keep em coming, thanks for sharing

I've always liked pickle jars,never seen one in citron. Maybe its just the light but does the big jar on the right hand side of your finds have a big dent in the shoulder?

Trust me, there are other diggers working just like me to save what we can.
It's just the light cause that jar has no dents in it.

Sweet sweet finds Conch, Key West bottles seem to be extremely popular with collectors. Your non-local finds are superb as well, I doubt anyone here would scoff at digging in a dump like that.

Be sure to dig as much as you can for as long as you can, I bet there are some extremely rare bottles/stoneware lurking in that fill. Probably some unknowns floating around too, which would be worth quite a bit. Your pictures make me salivate! []

Does it really appear to be contaminated?
I dug a place like that in St. Augustine. And it certainly was contaminated. Fortunately,they let all diggers go for it for a few days before hauling it all off to Georgia. It was not holding nearly as nice stuff as your site though.

Give it all you can,and save as many of those beauties as possible!

It's been tested as having high levels of mercury in it.

Here's a new puzzle for you guys. Any ideas?
