Went back to the 1910-capped clay pit bottle dump that I have been extensively excavating since January. It is very difficult digging but the trade off is the bottles often come out in great condition. In about two hours of digging I recovered three blob-top beer bottles, one tooled lip med, and one wooden tobacco pipe.

3. "Jacob Oertel 151 Flushing Ave. Astoria L.I."

4. "Burnett Boston" tooled lip med/extract bottle.

Here is the Bachmann - Bechtel immediately before and after excavation:
