I guess it shows to go ya, you can't leave no dump unturned. Even a site that looks pointless had unknowing dumpers. Is it just me or have we all thrown out something we regretted later or just didn't know about? Hindsight, huh, I wish I had more of it. I can't think of all the stuff I threw out or gave away (or sold way to cheap).
NICE FIND!!

Is that a regular crock or a water cooler? If it is a cooler let me know, I have one that this whole time I just thought it was a crock with a drain hole, it has the number 25 on it.

Sweet find!!! You never know what you can find in the woods. Maybe others who might have stumbled across it didn't feel like lugging that big dude out of there. I would guess $100 to $150 as is, although some Redwings are very valuable. I saw a Redwing crock with lid on Ebay go for $12,000 about a year ago. Good luck. Robert

Thanks for the posts guys. I wrote to the Redwing site on line and asked what it was and what it's value is. They said it is a laboratory pot or grocery store pot. It's not a water cooler, water coolers all say "water cooler" on them, and are alot more valuable. This one is worth about $150, with the 2 spickot holes. I can't believe it was just laying there, and is MINT. Also, there was a white lid inside the pot, with the other 2 smaller banged up pots, and I think it is a redwing also, and may be worth $75 or so. Not sure.
I dug a dump today for about 6 hours, came up with a few Bromos. I guess I was due to get skunked, I've been on a great run lately, so I sure won't complain.
Good luck digging guys,
Bram
