So today is miserable - pouring rain wit 2-4 inches expected buts its also 55 degrees so I decided to check out some spots in the woods. One was known to me and the other was not.
The one known to me, which is an older spot didn't produce much of anything. Its a very small dump area and I didn't bring anything to dig so I was a bit limited. I saw a broken John wyeth and bros blue bottle and a few pieces of embossed glass but nothing crazy.
I brought home a few things just so I didn't feel like it was a waste. A Curtice brothers preservatives bottle rochester, Ny, a slick clear, some type of iron fence plate and a ball jar lid.
The second spot is from the 40s the best I can tell - at least whats on top. This is in a swamp about 200 yards from a house dating back to the 1700s. With all the rain, it was flooded and all I could do was kick around some stuff. There were a lot of unmarked jars. I found one broken ACL (mission beverages is what I think it said).
From here I carried home more stuff, even though I knew most of it would be trash.
The coolest thing i found was this glass button. I only saw it because it was blue so it instantly caught my eye. The other items I found were 2 bottles that were produced by the Ball comapny (1 amber and 1 clear patterned). I didn't realize ball produced bottles. I found two Ginerale bottles - one from Diamond Gingerale in waterbury CT (embossed) and the other an embossed Gra-Rock bottle. A pair of these Certo bottles, a milk glass jar, a coffee jar, some random little fancy bottle, some patterned slick bottle and a bierleys jar from hollywood ca.
A fun couple hours and i'll hit them again since they are both about 5 min walks behind my house.
