5-5 & 5-6 Digs - 5/7/2008 1:28:26 AM    Poeticallyinsane   Posts: 226 Joined: 2/4/2008 From: Southern Colorado Status: offline Been out the last two days and between running into ants and getting a shovel full of sand in my pants (thanks to my 6 yr old son and his digging skills) these are what we dug up. Only really cool bottle we found was the one on the lower left side, its embossed with Monticello, Illinois and the other side it says Dr W.B. Caldwell.

No idea what they are but one says Dairy Permit... I blew up the one that was the most readable. Attachment (1) _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to Poeticallyinsane) Post #: 2

Never would have guessed they could have been on a milk can or anything like that. _____________________________ Krystal (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 5
