Going dumping too!

[Mike S]

What a great day to drive through the addies today! Will be heading out this road in a few days to meet the crew for a couple of days of fun and rust.

[Longopener]

Good luck to you guys! I'm heading out east next Monday for dumping fix! Bocks here I come!

[Mike S]

mike

[kb]

packed and ready to go to Rustmongers to load up there and head out- meet MikeS at STU-wards then see AG and Mrs AG...we got our snow shoes with us- going into the monster of that Nor'Eastern- but there are more OX HEADS to bring home...stay tuned

[Lovegun]

Sounds like a crew that could bring home some gems, weather, or not. Good luck guys! Looking forward to our Pa. trip next week (Chris Taylor, Anthony Ballios, & myself). After digging some pieces parts here recently, looking forward to finding some whole specimens in more productive soil.

[Mike S]

Just got back from the day and a half of digging.
great company, good cans and lousy weather. This should keep me busy for a little while...

[Jay]

Cool, looks like you guys found a lot of the NY classics. I hope the Trommers clean up for you guys.

[Mike S]

heres a few of them after the soak...

[ronsmall]

Sweet Kings!!

[Senator Seebs]

My God that is awesome. I would assume the King's would be an upgrade.

before and after pics make my day.

[Jay]

Wow, now thats a sweet dumper right there. It is always nice to see there is still hope for the 30's stuff to come out of the ground.

[Mike S]

yeah the kings was my can of the trip! Too bad we didnt find a pile of them but in that dump you had to really work just to find any cans being it was mostly pre 35'. Have hulls ever been found in the adirondacks? last year the guys find the Ox heads and then we found a few of these this year in a different dump quite some distance from the first and we've never found CT cans before this. Just got off the phone with dave and KB and they re hit a dump we went to a couple of years ago but was frozen and they found some real nice surprises there! I smell a spring trip in the works...

[LC400]

That Hulls OI isnt too shabby either Nice find...

[Lovegun]

Real nice variety of stuff! The Kings is sweet, along with the Haberles and the Hulls! Too bad about the weather, but looks like you guys did good never the less!

[danielj]

Looks like you guys had a great time and found some killer cans,
heading out in a few minutes to try my luck.
actually got permission to check a few spots for a change.
been awfull slack at dumping this year.
just havent had much time.
Awsome Kings!

[digger]

Thanx for posting Mike.Looks like all the cans you found help you deal with the weather.That Kings makes me want to leave work right now and get out looking.WHAT WERE THE CROWNTainers?

[Mike S]

Dwight so far all the crowns are real roachy topper ales with the best one pictured here. most of the cones aren't cleaning at all and they were red UC's hp & lp. White hp UC's, haberles ales, congress beers, bev beers and ales but i got lucky with a couple of Haberles HP cans. I just checked some soaking and one crown looks like it has some big block letters that curve across the face like a fehrs? if it cleans it will be a gr 10 at best and that's if i'm able to ID it...figures. One thing about this trip, we found lots of cans with bottles on the sides, 2 diff pabst, 2 diff rupperts, millers, buds.

[Rustmonger]

Like the other guys said another great trip in the book! Saturday was a little rough, cold, rainy and not a lot of cans. We found a lot of dumps but not a lot of cans. Sunday we were in dumps (CAN dumps) pretty much the whole day. I probably brought home 10 cases of cans and am in the process of pre-cleaning everything now. So far I've finished the stuff from Sun afternoon and am now working on the cans from Sunday morning.

This was from the last dump of the day but it got dark before we even put a dent in it, looks like first stop next trip! A lot of the usual suspects in really good shape with a few exotics mixed in. Went from lo pro cones and O/I's up to probably early to mid 50's.

This was the dump we dug right before that last one. Pretty big dump near some cabins with stuff from right after the war on up through the late 50's. Nothing super tough but some decent cans and slightly above average preservation for this area.


OK, back to the sink I go!

[Rustmonger]

Just finished up another batch from the first dump we dug yesterday morning. Gary and Judy found this one behind a cabin earlier in week and were kind enough to save it for us. THANKS! A lot of the usual suspects from the 50's with a few real oddballs thrown in and a nice little 30's section with some real early Pabst Exports and Hull's Ale O/I's. Sweet!

[John S.]

Wow.....that's a really cool assortment of cans......from both groups of dumpers- Mike S. and 'Monger. Are you sure that King's isn't really a Black Label? A Bally Bock! Nice! Hull's Ales, unbelievable. Stein's...way cool.
It sure beats watching the Bills, although the Broncos aren't over achieving either.

John, John, John...we are not dumbies...the Bills had bye this weekend...you think I would go dumping if the Bills were playing.


John , I too love the STeins Dave dug, but I have a "soft top' Simon Pure that makes my trip!!!!

1st time I ever dug a decent Simon Pure...just have no time for pics and cleaning for a while. my soccer team, my sons team. See my sons team beat Babels sons school today 3-1 and the boy scored...YEAH BABY


Dwight that Kings is sweet- I was pulling out Bally Ale OI's and Mike swipes a Kings and did a little bit of a dance.

AG found a baKING can from the 30's

[CMD]

Very nice scenery! you guys made a nice haul !!

out

Dan

[Rustmonger]

Got everything pre-cleaned today and even soaked two of the better cans. This was my haul from Saturdays digging.

Some pretty interesting pre-war stuff in there but I'm not sure how they'll clean up. Keeping my fingers crossed. None of these will see acid until at least Wed/Thu, wish me luck!

[Daev Larrazolo]

The cans turned out nice and that area is beautiful.

Thanks,
Dave L

[Rustmonger]

Bucket fresh and still draining. Nothing tough but condition is nice.

Here's an interesting one. At first I was thinking misprint but, thinking about it, I think it's just a paintover of the same label. It's only visible on one side which is why I don't think it's a misprint, must just be faded more on the one side so you can see it better. Kinda' cool, I like it.

Almost looks like a blurry picture but the top and bottom coats are about an inch off of each other.

[Jon]

Those cans drying look amazing. I know that those Beverwycks usually preserves well, but wow, what shine. Nice work, man.

[Rustmonger]

Thanks Jon, these are all the same cans pictured somewhere earlier in this thread. Acid is doing wonders. Here's a new batch, pulled these out of the bucket about 3 minutes ago.

[Jon]

That second batch is even better. More variety than the bevy of Beverwycks. What color! Some of the cans I pull out of acid and declare as "good" are 25% of what those cans look like. With the cans coming out of acid like that, you must be having a pretty entertaining evening, eh?

[Senator Seebs]

Amazing results. Quick question - why have you not removed the protective coating from your washing machine? They are begging you to!

I am so eager to get out and dump it is killing me - I have three week of vaycay to take by year's end - several of those days will be in tick free woods.

[rustamust]

Dave, way to go those cans look great and you had another great trip to boot.
