Well we got into the pit I probed out the weekend B4 last.It still wasn't the oldest pit in this yard (1856)but it (is) a loaded to the max TOC pit with some cool late throws.We are still digging it, we have to go back tomorrow. There were 3 homes on this lot,but we think this one wasn't a home,it must have been a bar or some sort of drinking establishment.Reason being,there are 100s of warranted flasks and other booze bottles,some nice aqua green but mostly clear.all seams stop.Also we got a crap load of Kelmer's Swamp Root some cures some remedy's.There were no plates or house hold items in this pit.Maybe a few but not enough to tell us it was a home used pit. In this pit, we got a few firsts,common bottles,but we never got a whole one in any of the pits we dug.Kelmer's was one of them.Now we have 25 and probably more in the pit still. Check out the pix,I should have made a little movie but we were to busy
