That sure is a different Phillips. All the bottles are nice. Why won't you dig there anymore, Mike?

Get "wierd stuff" of a tomato like plant happening in the bush here sometimes [;)] , pity you can't finish it off. not worth carring a six shooter (or whatever your preference is) and just digging it anyhow?

There's a new sheriff in town boys... We're gonna clean this place up, starting with those nasty bottle diggers desecrating our beautiful dumps... Sounds like some of the officers I know.

That stuff's pretty new, Mike. I'd move on fast to a much older area, if possible. Call me crazy, but if ABM s show up I fillerin' and head out. Got no time for that kind of glass.

I dig everything up to the 1930's unless there is better pickings on the go, it is surprising how many older bottles come out of more modern tips.

I've even dug in a gully filled with 1940's fill, horrible to dig in and I left 99% of the bottles in the tip but there where some good 1900's era stuff mixed though. We dug there due to a newbie who knew no better digging a test hole and finding a couple of damaged cordials that are worth around $400 each mint, no more surfaced though [:mad:] .

hey irish, yea 30tys is about it for me also, ive no where theres a large 40tys dump and ive dug there, found massive amounts of cans and plain jane jars , although found some cool sodas and milks, rare local stuff, and believe it or not some hutches and midjets, it seems that in the 40s and 50s people tended burn everthing, ive really been racking my brain where to find that old 1800s dump mike
