I "dug" (more like walked about) at this spot for a few hours. It was a looong hike to the area. My digging buddy had visited the spot a few times before but this was my first. I just had a hand drawn map with me so finding the exact spot took about two hours, hiking in rough terrain with much less than half a trail to follow.
We did pass by some old terraces and walls as well as an old model T frame. Eventually we got to the spot and wandered around for another two hours. For the most part, it was surface pickings which was nice. The most digging we did was pick a few bottles already halfway outta the ground.
We found stuff of good age but mostly 20s-40s sort of stuff. The liquid sunshine is a late teens abm I think. Lots of potential that I will be revisiting in the future.
Walked out with a decent haul. Two local Ewa Sodas, Pat-D no town coke, a Kirin Beer, some odds and ends. Highlight of the hunt was that small cobalt blue bottle.
Made by the Hoshi Medicine Company circa 1915, this bottle probably held some sort of concoction based on traditional Japanese medicine and modern Western cures. Who knows what was exactly inside. Usually these come in amber so getting one in cobalt is nice.
I also found this nice Japanese stoneware bowl which I pieced back together. A friend of mine told me that he dug the exact same style and size of bowl at this site some years ago.
That's all I have for you lovely folks. Hopefully I am going digging again this Saturday.
