Well here's what i found so far. Along with probably 20-30 junks signs. Many more decent signs in the dump though just have to keep digging. I will probably dig this dump until winter comes around so who knows what i will find in that time. I had to DIG for the Goodrich sign it was buried about 3 feet down. The Columbia records sign is in amazing condition for being in a dump, It's double sided porcelain. Only dug for about an hour.

I think I went to that dump one night!! It's out near the mail box at the back of my head. Then I woke up and my sheets were torn to shreds, then we had to buy a new bed cause the springs were all tore up. LOL wow what a neat story! I hope you keep us posted on your finds.

I picked at your hood sign, but these two make up for it. Great find,hope its not as hot there as it is here. I'm too old or its to hot for digging. But if this is the prize,I could suffer through.

 This old girl was found in an irrigation ditch about a mile from my house in Absarokee Montana. The museum there has a picture of the station in town with this sign hanging on it! The station was built of river rock and named the "Cobblestone Garage".

Okay here are some I took home. I already have about 3 piles that i need to drag home at the dump. I have had the neon vacancy for a while but i got it out of the same dump. Also I dug up a stack of 42" Tydols that were rough but don't have a pic. I sold a couple of the better ones to people on here. I will spend all this weekend digging so I will have plenty more pics to come. I will also take some of the dump.
