Well , when I first got into digging I was finding a bunch of junk being the dumps were not very old . But the first good bottle I dug from an ash dump was a six sided cobalt Roncegno bottle , still have it .

A small size aqua Dr. Jones (beaver) Liniment. Came out of a small surface dump that my brother found along an old road that had long since been grown over. It was 1981. I was 11 and I traded a friend of mine for the KIZZ Destroyer album LOL Ahhh the memories

Mine was a little Turlingtons Balsom of Life. After a little research I discovered that it was the first ever Patented medicine. Always thought it was one of the coolest bottles I've dug... even after tens of thousands later! Still have it on the Top shelf.
