The Two Hour Privy Dig - 7/29/2007 12:18:14 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    Well, my brother Craig and I hit the hole, we probed out on Friday, Today. It was a shallow unlined hole filled with ash and trash. We found one good scarce local Milk From Cadiz, Ohio and one marble. The beautiful part of the story is how long it took to dig. we started at 7am and was finished by 9am. Not too shabby in my book. I hope he posts a few photos from his cell phone because I forgot my camera. Here's a photo of the milk cleaned up. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

One man with one mold , probably 70 bottles a shift, is not in my opinion a mass produced item.  Every bottle  had to have some hand work and most are always slightly different.  That has always held an interest for me in bimal bottles.  Of course I probably don't see as many popping out of the ground as you guys do. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

A good example would be a Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 9

How about those slickers surely we can all agree that we'd rather dig milks than "Slickers". Besides I already traded the Milk for a nice Pepsi from Bayard, W.Va.. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to kastoo) Post #: 11
