Good finds!
Congrats.


Back in the 70s in Missouri when hunting Native American relic was slow due to mid-summer crops or weather, I would hunt bottles. I found a location in the Ozark foothills LOADED with bottles from the turn of the century where an old dairy farm stood on the hill crest. They apparently tossed all the trash and bottles over the cliff. I found many 90-year-old bottles barely covered with leaves or uncovered completely. It produced bottles for many years. I moved away before cleaning it out and bet there are still many there.

they look to be from the 60s give or take a few years. sometimes when you find a bottle dump the deeper you dig the older they get , my weapon of choice in the bottle dump is a potato fork.

There are more there and will go back. Had a probe with me and checked the parts I could. Did not feel anything more than a foot or so deep. Very steep narrow ravine. If it would have been just me would have stayed longer. Wife is into bottles even more than I am but was very hot and she worries about snakes. I now know of a few of these dumps but the age just isn’t there.
