BOTTLES IN A LOAD OF DIRT - 6/14/2005 11:48:52 PM    ron clark   Posts: 23 Joined: 6/12/2005 Status: offline A guy stopped out front of my house in a 18 wheel dump and offerd me a load of fill dirt so I had him dump it in my yard. About a week later I`m cutting grass and I need to move a few clods of dirtout of the way, so I get off the mower and as im looking at this pile of dirt I notice something sticking out. So I investigate and its an old bottle, WOW I think what luck, whats the chance of finding an intackt cork bottle.Well that was two days ago. Today I`m up to nine bottles/jars. This is the pile of dirt. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Having your bottle digging brought to you by the truck load !!!! You'll have to order another load...just kidding ! You need to find out where the Truck drew the fill from and try to investigate the site. Might be some diggin there !!!

RE: BOTTLES IN A LOAD OF DIRT - 6/15/2005 12:29:34 AM    ron clark   Posts: 23 Joined: 6/12/2005 Status: offline Now this one I thought was just a common beer bottle but I don`t undrstand the shape, and a line horizontle across the middle with arrows pointing to it as a 1/2 cup. So I hope you guys can clear up a few mysterys for me tonight, any way I am sycked up to finish some digging to marrow. Oh I was woundering if mason jars come in amber? as I was digging I foud a shard that looked like it was from a quart size jar and it had a MAS on it so I assumed it was from a mason, I hope to find a whole one.

Pinaud - is a perfume, and judging on similarly shaped ones over here, would date arouns 1890 - 1910. Those two Ball Mason jars are very nice! < Message edited by Tandy -- 6/16/2005 5:39:04 AM > _____________________________ Today is the day I will find those goodies just waiting to be found .....
