Pretty cool embossing on those, and lots of it too. Is that a floral design around the edge? GBS?

Congrats and happy new year!

Is this a natural land formation? Looks man made or something, could be interesting

Happy New Digging Year, Henry,

That spot is in beautiful territory. Have you plans for kayak or canoe exploration? Thanks for taking us to the dump. Here's hoping you keep pulling em two atta time!

Thanks for looking everyone. The design around the G.B.S beers is listed as being a wreath design in the Baltimore Bottle Book. As for the location, The train tracks used to run through the area up until the 1940s or so when they moved the tracks to the other side of the river. The 2 large embankments as shown in that picture may very well be man made, the middle section is full of ash and bottles so the sides may have bottles waiting to be dug too.

I finished cleaning up all of the finds from the last dig. I should be able to get over to the spot sometime this week coming up. Here are a few amber Gottlieb Bauernshmidt Straus-G.B.S. beers.

Here are a few more. Notice the one on the right is actually The Globe Brewery-G.B.S. This is the first different beer from the place, but its still a common one.

A few in aqua glass too.

And lastly the only whole bottle so far that wasnt a beer, it was a Chesebrough Vaseline [:'(]
