I finally made it out digging! First time this summer actually. I found many, many unembossed meds. I must have chucked 20 or 30 of them back into the hole when I was done digging. I think I might be finally getting into a dump with some age to it. But then again who knows. I'll try to get some pictures of my new spot later this week. I'm actually digging into the side of a creek bank. I hit some monstrous rocks that appear to form some kind of wall. I'm thinking maybe at one time there was a bridge of some sort that crossed the creek. I know the Watkins bottle is extremely common this one appears to be an earlier example of the ones I usually find. The little cobalt bottle is neat but unfortuanately no embossing on it. I found an amber canning jar lid/top. I find a bunch of aqua and clear but never amber. The jar has a food company on it. I can't remember the name of it. I don't have the bottle sitting here and I'm too tired to get up. haha Now for the crier. It appears to be a quite large cobalt bottle. There's only a little embossing around the top and if I had to take a guess...I'd say it read New York Pharmacal Association. Are these rare? Anyone have a whole example? Thanks.

Keep digging. Sounds like a good spot. I'd also try the creek bed if it's shallow enough. Just be careful for broke glass. Get some heavy duty rubber gloves if you try the creek. Good luck on your next dig.

The rubber gloves for the creek are a great idea. Will they keep you from getting cut if you're feeling around under the water?? If so, that would be a good investment.

Hey Laur,

Meat cutters use Kevlar gloves to prevent cuts--I think that they would provide more protection against glass cuts than the rubber gloves. Of course, they would not provide the barrier against bacteria, leeches, an other nasties that the rubber gloves would provide. You can check some out at this webpage: http://www.askthemeatman.com/cut_resistant_gloves.htm

Regards,

Will
