Are you going to make a YT video out of it?

Probably, I have a bunch I still need to edit together.

I'd be back there now . . . and tomorrow. . . and every day until it's dug out. Good luck!

Great thing is it's beside a creek too and open pontil shards just keep washing out among whole 1890s slicks.

Plate of pontils (mainly consisting of a rare CT cure bottle) that were dug by my buddy and I last time at the unbelievable early and untouched city dump.

Either way bring water, I should know better. Went out the other day got frustrated and was close to having heat issues. It was very humid.Giddy up!!!

I agree. Take plenty of water and be alert to what your body is trying to tell you. The bear will slip up on you in a heartbeat, and he alway wins.

I dream of finding a old city dump untouched & full of 1850's pontil Bottles & whole. LEON.

Don't we all?

I was about a foot down, and a deer almost ran me over. Oh the hazards of digging.

There are apparently none known to exist intact. Woodward's Universal (Cough?) Tonic from Middletown, CT. It's not embossed with the town, but Mr. Woodward owned a drug store (the bottles of which were also found here) and manufacturered this in Middletown.
