The first Bud zip & 2 line Schlitz kinda tough. Congrats. LEON.

The glued seam is wide open, looks like a starved clam. It was the only one we found in that pile. There were some other interesting cans in the mix, a strong Hamms and a couple tough Bosch premium zips- Ziphippie Bjorn

can’t wait to see more cleaned cans from this dump and Rustys’ pics- Ziphippie Bjorn

Mr. Ziphippie ,
That was a lot of cans, sure was a blast digging through those.
It was the right time frame for single faced Strohs, to bad we didn't find any.
Hopefully I'll gets some time this weekend to clean the rest of my cans, you inspired me to clean a batch of tabs last night.
Some cool Tabs!..... most of these came from the Bud Dump.

here's a few pics

That looks like a fun dump to dig
Is the strohs 16 oz a fan tab?

No, not a fan tab and no 26 after Detroit.
My first Stroh's pint, 168-16

Great stuff, sorry I missed it (again)

those cleaned up super nice, makes me want to start collecting tabs , tgt

I think I need a Bosch Premium zip if anybody has a extra. I always wondered if they ever made a Stroh's 16 oz zip? LEON.

Ditto on the Bosch Premium zip tab for me.....

Cool pics, Rusty! I love that tough Northern tab- all the Bosch premiums I found were fantabs.
This FULL Bosch didn’t have a chance- Ziphippie

Think I might need the fan tab Bosch Premium, Not sure though as they are boxed up now. but here's a old pic of my Premium that has the small finger pull tab probably from around 1967. I got a cool story about that can. LEON.

I only saved one Bosch fantab, sorry LEON. It wasn’t all tabs that we found. All my cones turned out Blatz’s - Ziphippie Bjorn

cleaned some items from the resort dump, the other half of the reverse painted pigtail ‘r’ Miller sign is at Johnny’s and the PBR was a lake found can the resort owner gave conesplus. Ziphippie

Bjorn, that sign Rocks!l looking forward to seeing it framed.
You can't buy one like that.
and some more purple glass, cool.

another cool thing from the tab dump,..... of the seven early Budweiser Zip tops I brought home, there are three minor top variations,
The first Gen. zip; flat surface, no writing. the next one; flat surface, with "lift Tab-Pull >, the next one; flat surface, Lift Tab- Pull Open.
I didn't expect that.
The "Tab-Top" Zip cans I found are the formed top with smile beads. Do the Tab-Top cans come with the early Zips?? Click to super-size

Woah, now that is cool! We found those early Bud zips and got fired up- after a couple hours they were just Budweiser’s. conesplus found two cones on TOP of that tab pile, we should go back there. Ziphippie

That Tropic Surf is tuff!

Rusty had been to that soda dump before- TwoGallonTom found his nickname at that spot. More pics- Ziphippie

That Tropic Surf is tough to find you only score one?

found two, I think Rusty found a couple the first time he was there as well- Ziphippie

cleaned- Ziphippie

Cleaned up great

Ziphippie,
I dug a lot of soda cans out of that dump, but only one tropic surf.

That was the can you were hoping to find there, it was a great moment when you dug those out.
looks like you got the nicest example.
Here's mine.
