These are some of my privy finds over the years
including blob top and hutch sodas.
Little River Canyon Falls in Northwest Alabama was a
beautiful place to vist after heavy April rains.
I am also a collector of tokens and Civilian Conservation
Corps items and photos. If you have any family photos of
CCC camps I'd love to see them.
When metal detecting old farm
houses, a vast array of artifacts
can be recovered. On the left are a
mercury head dime from the
1940's and a civil war era US
Marines button. Both items were
found at the same old farm, along
with Large Cents, 2-cents etc.
Untold items have been dropped,
hidden or cast out over the years.
Metal detecting has many
rewards.
I have enjoyed digging dumps of the 30's thru the 50's
with my beer can collecting buddies. I keep a lot of the
ACL sodas and some cans as well.
Chuck is a member of the Rusty Bunch and prefers to dig beer
cans. He is a breweriana collector first most, but he enjoys
digging bottles and artifacts as well.
I got to dig with fellow Rusty Buncher and Breweriana collector
Greg G.  Great time!!
I love to take advantage of a construction site in the old
parts of town. Numerous older coins including a  low
mintage 1893-S barber Half Dollar!

Old farm and road side dumps can produce lots of painted
label sodas and flat top and cone top soda and beer cans. Old
license plates and toys turn up also and are very collectable.
See you in a dump near you!!
My compadres concentrate on beer cans so I try to keep
the sodas. These flat top cans were rusty and crusty until
an overnight soak in a mild acid.
