The Rusty Bunch

Also Pabst Old Tankard OI (Peoria), found last year

I was thereabouts around 12 months ago. Didn't find a bonanza, but enough to keep things interesting. I found the can below scatter-dumping with the detector:

While Paul Letostak and his group were digging last weekend, I was off on a little solo excursion in the same neighborhood. My first stop was Pine Mountain, Georgia area. Early on I found a pile of flat tops, but it turned out to be a few cases of Bud split labels and one Nehi. The area was a CCC ho...

Nice job guys! Stay tuned, I was digging in Alabama last weekend too. I'll post pics later.

unfortunately it could also be a '46, they didn't really change the body style until '47 or '48.

I believe we've accounted for every state but North Dakota. Anybody out there have a digging story from Fargo?

Currently there are cans on the shelf that I dumped in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland. No luck in several other states that I tried for brief excursions while trav...

Probably not the first time you've picked up a case of Schaefer.

Eight. The CCMLs are 7.

Just like you guys, my last couple of trips have been over the SC line. Found a great big bar dump on one excursion last year, apparently virgin but chock full of national brands. Bud, Bud, Bud, Schlitz, Miller, Bud. The big piles are fun to look at, though. I was hoping for a few odd-sized cans, an...

Hyde Park is not yet on the master list for cans dumped in Kansas.

I was at this "discovery" in June. It is along a trail not far from a parking lot, within a mile of a major campground, and is visited by thousands of people annually. The article is intentionally misleading -- the hiker "discovered" it only for himself.

The place is cool, though.

Recent additions, all Flat tops:

Krueger Beer
Krueger Ale
Champale ML
Ace Hi Beer 8 oz.

Great stuff.

My first guess on the quart would be Konig Brau, a couple of which I found in Wyoming once upon a time.

My brother Tom and I will be traveling to the Brainerd MN area later this month for the Hoefer family reunion. In between obligations, we'd like to find some Minnesota Rust! Neither of us has dug Minnesota before, so the usual local brands would be exotic for us. We both collect all flats and cones....

I find that this is less of a problem with oxalic than with citric. I've filled cans when using citric, but I never bother when using oxalic.

I dumped the "orange flavored beverage" version of that Diet Rite last fall in NC. Never found a Zesty of any kind, though.

The IGA flavors were on the top lids.

My favorites are Blood Simple, Fargo, and Raising Arizona, in no particular order...but I have not seen No Country for Old Men.

NC - Would love to dig, but I suspect we're pretty far apart. I was in the far west part of North Carolina, which is only a couple of hours from my Atlanta home base.

Boxer shorts ad. In junior high, we laughed until our sides ached. it was later immortalized in a country song.

Anybody have a copy of the JC Penny catalog with the notorious "Man on page 602"?

This can is also dumped in North Carolina and Georgia. Lots of them at the Tail of the Dragon dump on the NC/TN border.

Those Cokes will sell if you clean them up.

Only big desert dumps would show up, IMO. I've been able to see at least one vey big dump via Google (couple miles south of Toole, UT), but I don't think a positive ID would have been possible if I hadn't been on the ground first.

Scott:

It was great to meet you and Mel. Let's do it again sometime soon -- maybe we can find someplace a little closer to you!

P.S. : I got one CC Malt Liquor upgrade. Not exactly a big haul, but it was fun to have action.

Would you go as far as Montgomery? I might be able to meet you there sometime. I'm in the Atlanta area.

Dave -- just ribbing with the 'big splash' remark. Apparently jealousy brings out the smartass in me. It's such an ugly emotion.

Anyway, keep these inspiring photos coming! You should have another big pyramid after all the trades about to come your way.

DaveNH has been laying in the weeds, storing up for this post! Big splash with post #1.

This looks like a Rustlings story to me.
