Some areas near Gwinn were. Farther east where I spent most of my time wasn't

I appreciate the offer but I think I will leave it empty.

However @bantam10 might be interested.

Nope

More pictures from day 3. Found one of the top 5 largest dumps I've ever found across from the bra tree. Used to be several structures here in 1950. However, the dump was mostly stroh and Pfeiffer. Worth hitting again when I am bored in the neighborhood. 20240413_095909.jpg 20240413_095937.jpg 20240...

Here's some more pictures of the trip. Absolutely amazing time. No bugs, no people the entire time and stayed dry 95 percent of the time. Kyle was supposed to come be he got sick during the week and he had to cancel. I found 7 undug dumps and have at least 5 or 6 new shelf cans. Cans are cleaning no...

Way to go

A small group of cans behind what used to be buildings deep in the middle of nowhere. I thought they were Tudors at first. I about crapped a brick when I realized what I found!

Nice.

Too bad there wasn't 1 more..

Day 3 was incredible

Highlights from day 2. Not very productive day but had had some fun. Up to at least 4 new labels. 20240412_112144.jpg 20240412_122605.jpg 20240412_124808.jpg 20240412_132456.jpg 20240412_154721.jpg 20240412_190001.jpg 20240412_191432.jpg 20240412_191844.jpg 20240412_192119.jpg 20240412_192122.jpg 20...

Zero green zero bugs. Just scored another bock at a different location

Day 1 of 3 has proven to be a good one

Forgot to add this one too, it arrived Wednesday. Beautiful IRTP pfeiffer that'll be a massive upgrade

This week's additions!
Special thanks to @DURTBAGG for selling me the kling bottle!

The Schmidts is mid 30s with a blacked out alcohol statement.

I am amazed at the number of awesome bottles you have acquired in a relatively short time span! What’s with the Hanley’s crowntainer? Part of the bottle collection you were going thru? Appears uncleaned and looks like it will clean up pretty well. It was just there. We tried looking for it last tim...

Picked through another collection this afternoon. I am absolutely blown away as there were more than I expected.
The Manistee bottle and Friars are incredible.
Klob is pretty cool too.

Found this Kerns cream of michigan bottle on Facebook marketplace Saturday and it was delivered yesterday.

1933-1934 era. I don't think this brewery survived very long after prohibition.
Probably one of my better bottles now.

My yearly tradition continues..

Here's my top 10 want to dump cans

-Blatz LP
-Goebel 16oz
-any new bock flat
-Goebel zip tab
-Sebewaing Zip
-big Mac flat
-Haas HP cone
-anything from Old crown ft Wayne
-Detroit Drewrys
-any new Chicago Flat

Let's see how this year goes.

Latest addition. My first one with a war bond label.

I've got a couple cool ones showing up this week.

To simply find new labels. It's becoming hard.

Pics are from fairly early in the day.
I overheard people say it was lighter than usual

First time going to this show and had to pass up overtime to make it. Here's some mediocre pics. Picked up the bottles at the Maumee antique mall. Tip tip is from Ohio and will be in my sale totes. Sebewaing is original unlike my current one with a NOS printed label. And honestly I'm more excited ab...

Jay wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 12:10 am Nice Ted,are the black labels Frankenmuth or Cleveland?
BTW are you going to the RB round up at Aho’s in May???

Jay

They’re Cleveland. We did find both variations throughout the day.

Won’t make it to Ahos year

Here's most of the clean cans. Got a few more of each pictured uncleaned still.

Best black label will be an upgrade.
Might keep the yellow Drewrys as an upgrade if it straightens out.

The prewar cans were fox deluxe Chicago, ribbon less pabst and a Milwaukee club

Forgot about this one, was delivered while dumping Saturday.

Very early post pro, notice the odd 15oz content statement on a weird bottle. Assuming this was due to a bottle shortage right after prohibition.

Cherry picked a collection that was in an abandoned farm house. Absolutely killer long lost collection with 100s of bottles mostly from michigan.
The Goebel is from Muskegon had my eye on that one for awhile.

Nice Ted, great time to be out. So I take it that the ground is not frozen. Good condition for cans in that type of sand. That soil usually leads to the crusty schmutzy type rust. Ground was frozen in many spots. Mostly shade areas which made searching pretty difficult slip and fall wise. I don't l...

First trip of 2024. We rehit a few areas and found some new ones. Only highlights are a camping area absolutely loaded with several larger 50s pits and finding a good sized 30s dump after the logging company came through. 20240302_113117.jpg 20240302_115019.jpg 20240302_121415.jpg 20240302_121428.jp...

Another one. This one is very early 50s.

@bantam10 Picked up another goat. I wasn't aware of this brand at all. Apparently there are IRTP variations as well. I found three different labels for that brand style. I love being able to see an actual label on a bottle. MENOMINEE-MARINETTE BRWG (02).jpg MENOMINEE-MARINETTE BRWG (03).jpg MENOMIN...
