Back to the bottle dump

[detector de metales]

Well today I went back to the "bottle dump" where I originally found the three intact apothecary bottles ( and a cut finger) and was destined to fish out what was left in the ground. I started digging the spot and out comes a muffin tin! old rusted and falling apart. After that I was looking for more of the bottles but all I ended up with is fragments Oh well. I did find some red glass, a top portion to a sugar bowl and part of the bottom ( fits what I found the last time out). I found this ornate scroll worked piece that I wish was intact because its simply stunning (even if its in a million pieces). What I think I stumbled onto was a burn pile, because I found many pieces of twisted old glass and tons of fragments of china and dinnerware. I'm back there tomorrow to continue my hunt. Hopefully I'll find more bottles!

Happy Hunting!

Hey, glad you went back there and told us about your finds. Have you considered screening the dump? It might hold some great coins. The pix are a little too small to make out the items you mentioned in your post, but I can see some of the flatware. Any of it silver?

Glad you got to go back. That stuff is still so cool to find though. Consider making a shadow box with the better pieces. It would make a real interesting conversation piece.

Happy Hunting,
Moon

Keep up the search. Anyone involved in digging in dumps and dirt should get a tetanus booster shot about every five years. Do those college kids there in Madison have activities where they lose coins and jewelry?

Yeah they do but there are certain "rules" about md'n on Campus property. So that's a no-go.
