I finally found another place to dig last year, but was only able to dig a couple of times due to the hot weather. I went back this week, and took pictures of the dump.

This dump is about 3-4 feet deep with a dirt over hang of about 6 feet. Its in the hill side of a creek. Its kind of strange, because you can find BIM bottles 3 feet above machine made bottles.

Here is one of two wagon wheels that I had to dig up to get out of the way. There is alot of metal in this dump; which helps some of the bigger bottles from breaking.

Here is a picture of some of the bottles I uncovered. The flask is an old uncle tom's gin bottle, and the other one is just an old junk bottle.

Here is a picture of the bottles I took home and cleaned up. Most are just junk, but I keep them to sell a flea markets and arrow head shows for a dollar or two a piece.

Here is a Delaware Punch bottle from San Antonio, TX. That I thought was kind of neat. Its the first one I've ever dug.

This is a West End Dairy and Phone 186. It has a cow head embossed in the center. Its a quarter pt. cream bottle. Unfortunately its cracked, but I still kept it.
