Hey Whosyer, I'm not sure what's going on there? I don't think it was previous diggers though because the building they tore down stood there for about 50 years. Plus, all the crocks, whiskey jugs, and others I don't think diggers would have left!!! There's been some bitters, Alot of med's and pharmacies, and sodas. There is an old (1950's) drain pipe that runs right down the middle of the dump into the city sewer system. I believe the layers got disturbed when the building was built and the pipes were put in. Around that pipe you'll find 1950's abm screw cap bottles and stuff, but when you get down into the layers below it is a undisturbed stratosphere... Send me an email sometime with a phone number, I'd like to talk with someone who knows our local bottles... Chris Capley

No problem John. That's just a drop in the bucket! I've dug over 200 bottles the past few months. I've got alot of patent meds, sodas, pharmacies, and even a couple of bitters. Haven't even dug my first privy and I've got a historic flask (trades some cokes for it)... I'll post more pics later... Chris Capley
