The Uchtorff dump was fun!!!
We met Friday afternoon in northern WI for some fall dumping….in a dump!
I was able to find coordinates of some dumps we visited with Neil conesplus- miss you, Mapmaster.
If I previously took a pic near the dump- we can now find it.

TGT, BadgerJeff, Rusty and I met up in the Uchtorff dump that was half frozen when we found it with Neil. Previously known as the Dorf/forD dump. I even found some cans on the drive up, looking for something else…. kind of stumbled on some 2nd gen. zips and fans. We were to meet up with BeastofBurden and RockBob Sat. afternoon at Faye Lake- Ziphippie

: huge Redwing? 2foot diameter stack

: Bosch Beer, Stroh’s 2face zips and fans

: -good friends meet in strange places

: dang stove- TGT wrestled it from its tomb

: Fritzie is here!

: cone-in-a-can

I don’t have many pics from Saturday. We found a killler trout stream in our travels. I stayed behind to get a couple casts while the gang went ahead and talked to some locals. I didn’t get a pic of the one that got away- I had a monster trout flash on a minnow bait. Going back to that spot!

We met up with the Beast and Rockbob Sat. afternoon and we headed East on Sunday in two vehicles, actually split up for a couple hours and somehow found each other hours later- no phone service! They found some nice cans, not many. Spotted the Thirsty Whale in Norway, some cool sight seeing. Ziphippie

: -we found the BeastofBurden’s cage

: A different time

: A different place

: found by Rusty, pronounced Jho-Belle

YooperAho was kind enough to let us camp Sunday and Monday night in Crystal Falls. Thank you!
Just some scenery pics from the next two days. Wanted to get more in the ground pics but I was busy talking to a nosy neighbor while the guys were digging single punches from the resort dump,
“….strange….hobby…..you….all…have….”
ha, laughter. Great times. Clean can pics next. Ziphippie

Hey Tom-O,
I told you I would pile on a few pics, finally getting around to it. nice little pile of rust you got there. You always seem to find some of the more unique labels on our trips. I'm envious of the Uchtorff, that has some good color, I think I would give that one another soak. Shine On!! Hoppe you're staying warm up there.

Bjorn, thanks for all the great pics. those kilns are cool, a different time for sure. I forgot about that trout stream; those locals were serving beer.
Your Dorf Fan turned out decent, and nice Kol.

Those guys and Jeff were already in the dump when I showed up late Friday afternoon. Bjorn text me a map with an X, I found their cars along the road, though I had been there before I had to use my "rusty sense" to find them in the forest. Fun times.
I didn't take many pics but was able to squeeze some more out of them.

Tom secured us lodging at Fay Lake Resort.

Saturday the six of us head out in two vehicles, Jeff, Tom and Bjorn in Jeffs car, Bob, Patrick and me in Mine. it was raining fairly hard when we got to our location. We split up, I stopped at a spot that looked good, Bob and Patrick got out to rabbit, shortly Bob came back to get me and a digger he had found a little dump of sodas. some pretty good ones, old Faygo's and first gen Sprite to name a few. We bagged them up and started detecting the area. found a few scatter cans and then a nice little pit of Goebelle extra dry's. We were soaking wet, but ironically, Patrick declared us team "extra dry".

: Old Bridge

: Fay Lake Resort

: our accommodations

: White Birch digging club

: extra dry's, out of the box

: cleaned up

: some tabs before

: same tabs after

: Old M

: My Dorf fantab can in a can...

: Pretty rough, busted a hole in it while cleaning. reinforced with cardboard, then rust dust and glue

: Both these cans were can in a can, out of the same dump, one landed the right way.

: Jeff dug this Uchtorff, his only one and gave it to me. He knew I've been chasing this can for some time. It fits my criteria, It was dumped on a trip I was on. Normally I would have happily accepted Jeff's awesome gesture. But this one just felt empty I need to dig this one myself. The X marks the spot theres more to be dug in this dump.

: Shelfer beer cans, Goebel and LoL are upgrades, tabs are new. really happy with the Kingsbury. I found one not as nice years ago but wasn't really keeping tabs at the time, always regretted that.

: Nice addition to my Kingsbury line up.
Schwing!! to the King!

: Soda Cans, the flats from Bobs find, the tabs and Hi-C from the Uchtorff dump. The orange Juice and Ketchup girl are Patrick's, left in my can box. Patrick I cleaned her up for you, and... well I have taken some liberties with her...uh

: I lit her up!

: Pop Art

: "Here's to a happy and healthy 2022 to you and the whole Rusty Bunch, and to getting out and digging some good cans this year, even us Old Timers"
"Here! Here!", "I'll drink to that" ....Clink..clink, clink

Here's to mud on your boots.
Rusty

: need more ketchup

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 adventures and like hey Man that orb is freaking me out. TGt
