Day Two of trash pit - 10/8/2006 6:09:06 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2020 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline First of all I probed it, and picked out the spot where the 4 foot probe just about dropped itself down the last foot. I took a gamble being the whole yard seems to be filled in. The hole is roughly 50-60 feet behind the house and on the property line, right in downtown Steubenville. I still have the well to do and hopefully a few privies but I'm guessing the privies will be sparse considerring the fill in the yard. The well on the otherhand has been filled in also. There wasn't a single bottle after about 1890 so I'm hoping the hutches and local beers and sodas will be in the well.

You dug a bunch of my dream bottles in one day. Man, I've been searching for a hole like that one since day one. I can't wait to see the flasks, bitters, and others all cleaned up. If I were you, I'd dig that lot from side to side, from front to back!!! LOL. You never know, the reason the fill was so full of bottles might be because the privies were already overflowing with trash? Dig that lot hard man, there has to be more there!!! Congrats and Good Luck!!! Chris Capley (in reply to cookie) Post #: 16

I have been on "cloud nine" since the darkes came out of the ground 15 minutes into todays dig. I was talking to myself the whole time as I pulled out the goodies. I am going back in the morning to keep going.I have been trying to find out info on some of the bottles and can't find any reference to them anywhere online. Some of them I find referenced are later different bottles like the A.L. Scovill & Co.I Found it listed in a later blown in mold with ny along with cincy mine just says cincinatti O. on it any help would be apprecciated. I'm gonna start cleaning in a few minutes. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to lexdigger) Post #: 17
