Radium Spring Water! - 7/21/2004 10:24:08 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Hello all, I've recently found a new site to dig (another one within 3/4 miles of my house), that appears to have been dug back in the 60's. There's a lot of early abm stuff lying around on the surface, and a ton of broken pre-1900. I decided to try digging into a bank that appeared un-disturbed, had to go through a clay cap, followed by a couple feet of ashes, before I started finding some bottles - all post 1900 so far. Has anyone ever come across a 20 oz. Noxema jar?!, I found one 2' down. That's another story..I also found a crown top, medium teal green spring water bottle. It is labled: GREAT RADIUM SPRING WATER CO,INC. PITTSFIELD MASS. I did a search and discovered that this company was only in business 3 years, 1919 - 22. This was one of the post-1900 'quack' medicinals. They thought radioactive elements were healthy At any rate, I think this was a great find for a post-1900 bottle, I guess I should have posted this up above on that topic, sorry about that..... < Message edited by Maine Digger -- 7/21/2004 10:39:11 PM > _____________________________ Norm Miller Post #: 1
