The Hilton Dump

Looks like a mason jar in the hole. It ended up being a qt. strong shoulder.

Then the best bottle of the day came out for me. I knocked down part of the wall and I began scooping the dirt out of the hole when this awesome bottle rolled out off my shovel. Joey dug one of these here a month or so ago and I have wanted one since. These are listed as rare in the Baltimore Bottle Book so they are definitely good ones to get.

Some more glass ready to pull.

This just ended up being a jar.

The first and only soda of the day showing.

Ended up being a local common Catonsville soda.

Done for the day. Here is the crater I worked in.

Here is the beautiful very dark cobalt blue H.W.D. medicine bottle from Baltimore. The camera wouldn't get a good picture of the true color even with natural light. It has a purple tint in the cobalt blue since its so dark. There are listings I have seen in bottle books for purplish cobalt and this may be an example of that color. Its a shame I couldn't get the purple to show when I tried multiple ways to get a good picture of the color.
