   Here is a reprint from a previous edition of The Collectors Newsletter:   
      
   We live in a Victorian home in a historic district called St.  Annes Hill in   
   Dayton, Ohio.  A few years ago we had some serious sewer problems.  As we   
   discovered a section of the original sewer pipe had collapsed.  What was worse   
   it was under the garage with a concrete floor.  After much back breaking   
   excavating we had a hole in the garage about 8 feet long, 4 feet wide and 7   
   feet deep.  While digging we keep finding bottles, rusted cans and early Edison   
    light bulbs...  all intact!  After the pipe was repaired I decided to do a   
   little more digging.  Mind you all of this was 7 feet down.  I found broken   
   flow blue cups, dishes, rusted iron toys, hinges, 38 different bottles   
   including early Dayton breweries, pharmacies and a Pluto water bottle.  But the   
    best was an early sponge ware bowl that just had a crack.  As you can guess it   
    was the original trash burn pile from our home.  I finally had to be pulled   
   out of the hole so it could be filled in.  Every so often I look at the floor   
   of the garage and want to dig it back up again...  I just know there is   
   something wonderful waiting! Jim in Dayton, Ohio
