I was exploring and on what was an old farm that dates to the 1840s and while walking along the old farm road I happened to notice bottles that had been pitched into the swampy land next to it. All were either just laying on the surface or sticking out most of the way! I also found two dumps both ranging from the 1920s-1940s give or take. There were bottles all over! Unfortunately there was also a pitchfork prong sticking out that was camouflaged in the leaves and I ended up stepping on it. It went through my shoe into my boot (really painful. So, I had to leave quickly and go to the ER (I'll live, lol). I wouldn't be a bottle hunter/ digger if I didn't get injured at least once, lol. At least I got some nice bottles!
Here they are:
From left to right:
(My 2nd) Berry Spring Mineral Water Co. Pawtucket, R.I., My only BIM bottle i found so far at this spot, Burnett's Dry Gin bottle, Cobalt bottle, Obermyer and Libermann NYC beer, an emeral green art deco soda: Marathon Beverage Co. Norwich, Conn. (Can't believe it!), and an Olde Bridge Beverages art deco soda from East Haven, Conn.
Close ups of the art deco sodas:
I have to go back, especially since if these are just laying around who knows what else is! There has to be older stuff somewhere, and I didn't even explore all of the road! I'll just have to be more careful.
