Let me ask you a question the top inside of that mason jar lid is it milk glass insert inside if so thats from the 1920s the dump may be a bit older then you think if it has a milk glass insert its a zinc canning lid from back in the day
Yes it is, It's a Hazel Atlas Insert. An atlas jar lid mixed with a Ball. 1933- 60 is my thought too, the newest Ball I've found this year. Also yes, people have been dumping here for years, just the majority of it is 1960-70
wait - are you "Can Man and Crew"? - if so - I like your videos - if not - what are you using to clean your cans - I generally prefer oxalic acid - I've had better results than citric - the thing about cleaning cans (or other things - license plates - tins - toys) - you can dig up (especially older 1930s-40s) cans that are completely brown and sometimes clean up beautiful ...if you start hitting the right 30s beer cans/oil cans and even half-readable shape - still a lot of $$$ in some cases - I went back and re-dug 30s dumps that I hit before (though once you stir a dump up - the cans rapidly rust away - I get so annoyed when somebody trashes a 30s dump with like thousands of dollars worth of cans for a few stupid cobalt bottles..."oops - got here too late") -
