Some more broken flasks and a couple whole ones - 10/26/2008 8:30:46 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1871 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: online         I hope everyone has been out enjoying the fall weather.It's nice not getting bit by bugs and having heat stroke just from probing.        This weekend my luck of finding killer flasks continued.Of course they were smashed but did score a couple later ones intact.        Here is a group of Shepard & Co. Zanesville eagles in colors.I posted the yellow one a while back and found the other 3 recently.They are so thin in the shoulders.Still fun rooting through shards like this in the fluff.

This one wasn't a double eagle and had a nice suprise on the back.Not a rare one but one of my favorite Pike's peak molds.

RE: Some more broken flasks and a couple whole ones - 10/27/2008 4:41:00 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1871 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: online     Thanks guys,even broke I had a great time digging the Shepards! It just gives me hope for the next hole.    Dan,you will find a historical flask soon I am sure.We dig tons of broken ones for every whole one too so don't get discouraged.The pikes peak came out of an upper layer of a pit that had about a dozen,broken ribbed Louisvilles,2 of the Shepards,scrolls,and 2 swirls.It was the only good bottle that survived.Good luck out there.    PennDigger,sounds like you are on to a good site.Stick with it they have to be their somewhere. _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.

Where are you at in Ohio?Plenty of good digging throughout the state. I'm just North of Ashland and just South of Norwalk. Huron county. You are proof that this state has plenty to offer in bottles. I need to learn how to locate and gain permission to great spots like you find. How do you approach a landowner?                                            Twig. (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 17

RE: Some more broken flasks and a couple whole ones - 10/28/2008 8:41:57 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1871 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: online       Thanks again. I just try to stay in cities,use old maps to locate the oldest houses and knock on the door.I tell them I have a crazy question to ask and then explain what we do honestly and confidently.Confidence is the key in my opinion.If you don't think they should let you it will show.I don't carry literature or pictures with me and try not to make a big deal out of it.Most folks are cool and over half let us dig up their yards.It's nuts! Good luck and feel free to email me with any other questions.Maybe we can get together sometime for a dig. _____________________________ I WOULD LIKE TO BUY OR TRADE FOR YOUR COLORED,AND OR EMBOSSED CATHEDRAL PEPPERSAUCE BOTTLES.I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR EMBOSSED MIDWESTERN ALES IN ANY COLOR.
