Even though the ground is still frozen in spots up here I managed to find and dig a few piles of rust implementing USGS topo maps. There was 2 feet of snow on the ground at this time last year. I was pleased to find some travelers amongst the Hamm's cans. Next to a six pack of Metz there was 2 cases...

Hamming it up finding a couple of old logging camp dumps using a top map from the U S Geological survey.

The "Beast of Burden" and I drove around Minnesota for a few days and found many a Dump ,including a solid acre of rust . We discovered that Minnesota is truly the land of 10,000 Hamm's beer cans and or 10,000 Grain Belt cans. thanks to the beast for feeding me from the vast selection of f...

Drove around with Rock Bob and UpperAho for a few days , Thanks Bob and thanks Jonny for let me stay at your place .heres a few cans

Looks like fun, nice finds

Looking good Rusty, as usual , I really believe staying in the GB packer room qualifies me for "un- lucky dumper" honors. months of therapy and I still can't un see that room......

A few new labels not on the list that I dumped this season, Flats- Alps Brau, Old Crown Bock , Frankenmuth Mellow Dry, Ruppert, Schmidt's of Philidelphia,
Griesediech Bros. OI s - Old Crown Ale , Old Crown Beer, Sterling, Crowntainers - Kamm's Cone tops - Hoff Brau Gold Star

I have been digging again in the dump I recently found. Certainly some travelers are present. I have been smiling like that kid on the syrup can.

After meeting the guys,Rusty J, RockBob , Ziphippie, Schmidy Jeff and Beast of Burden, down in Wisconsin for some digging ,The Beast of burden ,( Patrick S.) followed me home to Babbitt,MN to dig for a few days. We found a few piles. We also dug a cabin dump I found, due to a tip from a local. Since...

Many common 50s cans with a lot of paint. 100s of Shiltz, Hamm's, GrainBelt and Bocsh along with some other labels. some upgrades and mosquito bites ...

I was invited to dig a 100 year old farm dump near Duluth,Mn . The owner contacted me threw my business after seeing some beer can art I had created.I was hoping for some 30 stuff but all 40s,50s and 60s. The Two big piles of toasty rust were scattered with dozens of cans in a can which made for a f...

Thank you to all the guys for a great time U.P. style. Thanks for feeding me, carting me around and listening to my jokes and ramblings. here are some cans I dug ,some new lables and some upgrades.A few are from Minnesota, dug with the Beast of Burden. more on that later .

Nice , Love the peddle fire truck, I have found a few of those but that complete, awesome

Nice to meet you Ted, had a great time cleaning cans right now. Cars 34 Hudson? 1964 Catalina? Just my two cents, definitely hot Rod material

looks the same here as it does DOWN IN MICHIGAN !

Hey Golf lover, out of curiosity do you have a more specific address for the bar in the photo? I have a connection to the East side as my Grandfather ran a
Sinclair gas station/ repair garage at 104th & Torrence Ave from the late 30s well into the 1970s. Thanks Tom

Looking Good Rusty, Great collection of photos , I was wondering where you were, or when you were anyway. I had a can digging dream, last week where the property owner told me to leave,. I had to abandon several labels my sub conscience invented, all shefers too. So I am ready for more digging adven...

The weather has been unusually nice for November allowing me to get out a few more times before the snow. I found a 30s dump with many smashed and toasty quarts and Hamm's OIs near what appears to be the site of an old gas station. the concrete gas pump islands barely visible form the road. lots of ...
