'Rarity 4' Pepsi:Cola Dug Today - 10/12/2006 10:04:57 PM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1136 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hey all - Yep, I got out today for a little digging. I put in 4.5 hours and figured I could leave early after digging this one. This is the hardest to dig/find Pepsi around here. In the first Ayer's book it is listed on page 92. It's hard to tell in the photo, because of bad lighting, but the glass has a yellowish tint to it. This was the norm for this variant. This is known as a No. PET3 from Petersburg, VA. (6.5 Oz.) This bottle never goes up for sale. It also lists for a ridiculous amount of money. I mention this not to boast, but for this crazy reason ----- It's machine made!!!!!   I've dug some good Pepsis before, but this is by far the rarest. Slimdigger once told me that THIS was the one to dig. No one digs them, which is unheard of for a bottle that dates 1918-1922. I dug other stuff today that isn't even worth mentioning at this point. It was a great day digging!

I have a (RABCA) digging contest to enter on Nov. 8th. Until today, I had NOTHING worth entering.   Yes, you are correct ...a pretty pennie ...they're looking for this one. madman - I've dug many local variants of Pepsi (see my Pepsi site), including the 'tenpins', which are only a 'Rarity 2'. They bottled here in the early days (teens), which explains why we dig them from time to time. My wife is cleaning my digging clothes now. She wants me to go out again tomorrow. My body says NO! < Message edited by Flaschenjager -- 10/12/2006 11:01:43 PM > _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

I knew it, but went anyway... that this hole was picked clean. I got a common local milk and some odds and ends, but that's it. Thurday's find kept me smiling though. Zane - Old??? I golfed back to back days and WON...Tues. and Wed. (72+ holes - You wouldn't know or hang) Then dug packed tight dirt (not loose privy fill) for two days beside an extremely large tree complete w/ large roots. All this after major surgery less than a year ago. You'll be Old soon enough. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

Just check my Pepsi page (updated after midnight tonight). They are there listed with a pic. All were dug in one day. They are only Rarity 2 though...lol. One was in two pieces (in the Balt. repair shop - Chris), one I sold for my tumbler and the mint one is in one of my display cases. Hall of Fame???  _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!
