I just want to thank all you fellas for the kind words. Gets me fired up to go dig more. And my digging buddy even stated he likes it there and wants to go back. Anyhow the cans are from Seattle and some have an Olive Drab seam. I'm trying to post a photo for you all now.

Wow, those cans cleaned up nice. Keep up the good work. I think you should go back and look for more. Chris
Until next time, may your totes always be full of cans and your past and future dumping trips be in your dreams at night.

Hey Beamer, I think it was Rick Natter who told me about dump years ago and Carl Scheurman also told me about propeller dump and actually sent me a picture of A stone base right above dump. Good guys.

When I was in Alaska exactly 2 years ago, Chris was also kind enough to share the location of this dump with me as well. I
wasn't in Alaska to dump I was actually there with my wife on our 25th wedding anniversary....but being the trooper that
my wife is, she let me make a pit stop at the propeller dump. I was in an out in less then 15 minutes and managed to turf
up 8 of the bad boys. It just killed me not being able to dig in more, but we were on a schedule and had to keep going.

Daniel.....keep up the good work. We love seeing and reading about your adventures. If I ever get back up that way, I
want to go dumping with you. You are a dumping machine!

You may remember me posting these pictures, all found on my Alaska trip (only the propellers in the propeller dump).

Appreciate that Conehead. Chris is top notch. Funny thing is we where not headed there to dump. I had other projects in mind and since we went by there to glass for Bears my digging. Buddy asked about the one dump and I pulled over saying there's another one right here somewhere and voila....we tore into the propellers. I must have dug 100 easy. And now here it is Friday morning and we still don't know what we are going to dig for or were we want to go. And your more Han welcomed to come dig with us.
