I went to a friend's dump that is so big he said stop by any time. It's a 20 foot slope with about 100 feet of dump in it. He dug out a 15 ft tall 20 by 15 foot of it, but piled all the dirt in the middle lol. You could spend a whole week just digging it out. Anyway I tried to reach the good layer, but hit two rock that weighed 75-100 lbs. each. I somehow extracted them and rolled them down the slope, but it took the energy out of me. I hit the first dump layer which is very uninteresting 1930-50s foods and medicines. Two more feet was too much to go, so I went over to a spot I tried before. It's a much more manageable 2 foot tall slope to a swamp at the base of the large slope. I had found 1930-40s bottles here too, so I tore in. There was nothing good at first, then I went above the hole to open it up with my shovel. When my shovel broke through, this ridiculously long bottle stuck out its rear. I pulled it out and was psyched to see it was a Shell Motor Oil bottle! I gave it a quick cleaning at home and it's in excellent condition. A quick search on ebay turned up a Canadian one with the bidding up to $50, so it looks like a lucky find! Pictures to follow...
