Found another dump sight out in the back 50 a few days ago and thought I had stumbled on to some real beauties...until I discovered they were all smashed...I haven't had time yet to dig and see if there may be more but they were beautiful bottles...colors of aqua blue and a pinkish maybe lavender...
Here are a few of the broken pieces...I can't make out the first few letters but what I could read says...MULVIHILL ( I think I couldn't make out what was before that) Magnesia Deep Rock Water Chicago, IL.

I guess this is what kids do for fun...really had me ticked off when I saw all these bottles...or what was left of them....

Dig dig dig. You never know what may lie beneath. That buffalo water is a cool one. you can't always blame kids either. Add water, freezing temps and boom, bye bye nice bottle. But I would definitely dig it out to see what may still be there. Swiz

Dig man Dig. Kids probably having target practice. The stuff is there, just a bit deeper.

Its a Buffalo Lithia water.Fairly common,but awesome embossing.Well worth a keeper to me.There is a member on here with that name that has about every one that is known.

My first dump was ransacked by kids,they had a tree house right next to it.I still found some stuff after I dug tho.[;)]

Those bottles probably got broken 100 years ago when they were thrown out of the wagon with the bricks, or if kids did it it could have been your grandpa with his BB gun in 1942 pretending to shoot Krauts. The whole ones are under the ground.
