I bet that there could be some very interesting artifacts that could come out of any old dump site in Tarpon Springs. Lots of helmet diving has been done there and stuff that was brought up and then tossed could be found again.About 15 years ago I excavated an illegal dump along the Anclote River. I found almost a dozen old Coke bottles stamped Tarpon Springs 1906.
While I was walking the excavator out of the dig area I was checking the track path and saw a clump of dirt that was too round and about the size of a softball. Not liking to run over anything that might damage the machine, I got of to clear it out of the way. When I wiped the dirt away, it turned out to be a glass apple with leaves around the top. I believe it was probably some kind of apple cider vinegar bottle and the stem would have been the stopper. No, unfortunately, the stem wasn't with it.
