Digging in SF - 6/11/2008 7:43:28 PM    Dabeel Posts: 94 Joined: 3/12/2004 From: Baltimore origin, Now Sacramento and L.A Status: offline Hi All,   Just digging in a pure soft sandy trash layer after work yesterday and came across this gem of a Soda and a couple of minor other bottles. Just love digging through what feels like beach sand versus that hard soil/clay....only problem with it is the cave ins. Doug  Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I am able to get the picture down to less than 200 KB but It gets distorted and I still need help with the cropping, so the picture isn't so big. Thanks, Doug (in reply to lobeycat) Post #: 7

RE: Digging in SF - 6/12/2008 6:44:33 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3593 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline To reduce a pics size in Windows, go to your pictures file right click on the pic and choose "open with" then "paint". If that option's not there browse for it. After that, the option will always be there. In Paint at the top Click "Image" then resize/skew. In the two boxes type 80%, 75%, 70%, what ever it takes to get the pic down to a manage size. 300x700 or so will get you a nice close up of a single bottle. Then to crop it click the box thing in the pic then right click on the pic and choose "select all". Now you can slide the picture to the left by left clicking and holding on the pic. this will crop the left side. Now drag the pic up as much as needed and crop the top. Click on the white space, this will close "select all" Now left on the blue dot in the pic and close up the white space and as much of the right side pic as needed. Do the same for the bottom. Any of that make sense? Just fool around you'll get the hang of it. Lobey. Ooops....

That would be cool if you could...doesn't appear to be a druggist style bottle to me. < Message edited by Lordbud -- 6/13/2008 6:48:15 PM > (in reply to Dabeel) Post #: 13

RE: Digging in SF - 6/14/2008 3:08:27 AM    Dabeel Posts: 94 Joined: 3/12/2004 From: Baltimore origin, Now Sacramento and L.A Status: offline Al(Kozmo): Like your user name Kozmo the wonder dog How's it going in VA? I didn't think it was that hard to find a Sacramento soda in SF, but Andrew said in all his years of digging SF he hasn't found one yet...go figure, I guess my roots in Sacramento are following me to SF. Send me an email and let me know what's been happening. Lordbud:  I have misled you by mistakenly calling it an SF druggist. It just says "Dr H. Pickens on one side and San Francisco on the other...it doesn't have the word "druggist" in the embossing....I will try to post a photo of it this weekend for you......by the way thanks for letting me know about Ken's ebay name so I can check his auctions for bottles.
