Hey everyone.
On Sunday, I am planning on heading out to the old homesite to do some more bottle digging. The house was built in the 1800's and has been abandoned since the 1970's. The bottle dump is huge, it covers a large portion of the woods, and it makes it's way down a hill, and there are some bottles in the stream at the bottom of the hill. On top, there are bottles from the 50's to 60's and in some parts early 70's. I dug down a little and found a 1940's Coca Cola. I know if I dig down deeper there is a chance I will find some older stuff. Does anyone have any tips for me to dig this dump? I don't have much expierience digging in bottle dumps like this one, so any tips would be great. We have found sodas, milks, some cans, and some embossed jars (Bromo Seltzers and Atlas Jars). I will keep everyone updated with what I find. HH.
