Dirt:

Your shovel must be ground to bits with all the digging. Well done on the jar. Not a scratch ? Nice job. Save some for the rest of us. Madpaddla

Paddla......I go through about 4 shovels a year....but man is it worth it to go deep on these old dumps.....all the best finds come from 6-15 feet deep...and that pretty much goes for all the dumps I dig.....JUST GET OUT THERE AND DIG CAUSE YOU LOVE IT AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED WHAT COMES UP! Thanks for the nice replies fellas....you guys in this forum are AWESOME! GIT ER' DUUUUUG

Sweet old jar, DF. I'm glad you found that place and saved all of those beautiful bottles from the ground. Excellent job, bro...Glad to see that your hard work continues to pay off! Jim

Thanks for the kind words JIM, believe it or not I am not the first to dig this dump....other diggers have had their shot at it in the past...but they only dug down about 3 ft. My digging buddy and I have reached down to depths of 15-17 ft in there and bottomed it out.....I just love digging em man....what a thrill!

Nice jar! In so many dumps the whole ones are few and the criers are many. Would make a great before and after tumble picture, I bet.
