I was at my cousins house 2 months ago getting dairy queen and going fishing. when fishing on their river I mentioned to my uncle that I love bottle digging. He said "We'll we've got the perfect place for you." so we drove on the atvs to get to the area. It was a big old Limestone kiln in which farmers dumed their trash into.the wall was already partly collapsed, the whole side oozed out bottles. On the fist day the bottle count was at 950. Just on the surface and around the dump! I went over there the next day and dug some more. We pulled out another 700 bottles just in a small area. from 1890 to 1960 It was alyars of bottles,tin,stoneware,metal, and even a car door and bicycle frame! I found a police badge and took home 20 cleaned up bottles. we have to clean up mre and dig the rest out over the summer. But the dump produced
