Something weird happened to the first post,i couldnt reply to it to send pix any way heres a new one.
Day 6 and the end of this monster pit, it turned out to be close to 15 feet, the fill was overwhelming, 15 fifty five gallon drums, a 80 gallon and some rough necks, then we had to brake out the tarps!, now if we had no barrels we would have a Mount Everest of crap! haha at the bottom we took out half of the 3 foot use layer in a 6 foot span and just dug one side to the other, so we wouldn't have to take any more out (thank god), now to the bottles, we may not dig a ton of pits, but the ones we do, bless us with some very good bottles, even though there (are not that many) one bottle will make the dig worth while to me, this time I ended up with 4 the last one is Killer! A light puce Dyottvile Flaying Eagle with shield, it was on the very bottom, with a little fill left to go through, when it came out whole, I was like Holly Chit!!!! the first reason being it was a good flask, and the second because in that pit we dug 12 broken historical flask all together, my buddy got a washing Taylor today (whole), then I got a broken Washington Father of our country, its was Crazy!!! now just think if all where whole! man! oh man!, I know people who never dug a shard of a historical and have been digging many many years, so I feel blessed to have seen so many pieces in one pit, I came home with, a summer tree flask, a puce Dyottville Flying Eagle & shield, a cobalt Seitz porter, and a 8 sided cobalt small size Seitz& Bromineral water, so I am happy with the finds, my buddy got that John Clarke, (very good bottle) a Washington Taylor, and 3 cobalt 8 sided Seitz sodas, so that's the end of that one, I found one right up against the garage in that yard, it has to be the 1835 pit the pit we just dug went from the 70s to 50s 2 pits in one, so there is one more in the yard, we will check it after I rest up, I am getting old and all.
