Bet you would do fine by walking in and talking to the guys if it looks like they are kind of standing around. I always ask permission to dumpster dive at construction sites and it frequently leads to more stuff later. Just be honest with them. Bet they will let you poke around some if you promise to stay out of the way.

I keep forgetting to go back. It's probably gone now or been run over by a bulldozer? LEON.

Well, After 2 weeks go by I drive by there Yesterday (Saturday) to see if it's still there. They been doing lots of Construction in the area & I figure it's gotta be gone or run over. I slowly drive by, don't see it, get bummed out THEN, I see it. It's still there & not run over. LEON.

Part 2. SO, Today me & my buddy Tom get out to do some privy digging. Ends up the Neighbors or somebody burned down the 2 Local Crack Drug houses. These houses our on our 1897 Sanborn maps. SO, with the whole block about burned down & not many living on it it's open Season. We did not find much & prematurely left early. Tom said he had to get home, that light weight. SO on may way home I go back to Construction site & bottle still there. I keep saying to my self it looks just like one of those Mrs. Winslows, Then I say I hope not because thats real common & I already dug at least 10 or more past couple of years. It's a Sunday & not to many people around. But still daylight. I waite a little bit for total darkness to arrive. It does & I park down the street & walk up to the magic spot, Wearing my all black cloths so nobody can see me. I slip under the Fence & Slowly Army crawl on my belly like a slithering Snake to that Dang bottle thats had me in Suspense for 2 Weeks. I grab the goods & slowly retreat to the bottom of Fence & slide under. Coast is clear so I casually get up & walk away. It's to dark to read so I wait till I get home. I get home & read & see it's just a Common Mrs Winslows. Dang it, I risked my life for this? Only good news is it's not damaged & I think it's got the older turned in lip. LEON.

As my Dad would say, better than a sharp stick in the eye.
