Kind of an odd dig yesterday which seemed to turn up more "artifacts" than bottles from an 1890's to mostly 1920's dump.
Among the oddities were 4 various size things (clocks?) with gears,a shaving brush handle,watch,atomizer,little crock,local token,watch,and insurance advertising trade card saying "Which Umbrella are you under?It pays 4 Ways- Pacific Mutual Insurance" Flipside shows 1925-26 calender. Bit amazing it survived being buried.Also a huge annoying harness which took forever to clear out of the way.
4 keeper bottles to salvage the day. 3 local. "Pure Milk Is Natures Best Food - Sealed 1-11-14" Milk bottle. Pharmacy bottle "Dr Ruml and Ristine -Kimball Block Pharmacy - Cedar Rapids,IA . Crown top "The Magnus Brewery - Cedar Rapids,Iowa. And a common "Wakefields Blackberry Balsam".
Insects were a killer,150 bottles dug but only 4 keepers, overall fun dig though ,and plan on hitting it hard tonite.
