One of my favorite pair of documented digs in the Peoria dump, from February 2009. I couldn't go a few inches without hitting clusters of great TOC glass, which for some reason was very well preserved. Low breakage, high yield of keepers, and easily 100+ crappers. I added at least 5 good bottles to the collection, which doesn't happen much anymore. I would kill to get into some more spots like this:
A week later I went back and got some more goodies from the same hole (expanded, naturally)
Quite rare slender The Singer Bottling Co. Peoria, ILL hutch. I've dug a bucketload of the older style squat hutches, but this one is the only example of this style i've seen, intact or otherwise, and was probably concurrent with the common crowns which had the same embossing.
Believe it or not, those digs were more fun than the 30 minute dig that turned up these juicy cokes:
Or the 20 minute excursion which turned up this singular find:
Not saying that the end result wasn't better, though. []
That's 1.40 worth of pictures for 10 cents cyberdigger, not a bad deal eh?
Charlie, finally, here is my favorite bottle in my collection aside from the Jenny Lind. I was able to crop this from another pic. It's not the best picture, but a bottle that I have always loved for its crudeness, color and simplicity. I wonder what it contained and who used it.
