The hole is looking good. - 8/11/2007 12:52:32 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    We found a hole to dig behind an 1860ish house. Long story short, we found a "Boerhaves"(I think)"Holland Bitters" Pittsburgh Pa. damaged, a broken crock, A super little mini pumpkinseed, and several other bottle out of the first few feet of ashy fill. It's a super-soft ash layer before the cap. then back to ash and then use layer. We have it probed to atleast 9 feet. Haven't found the walls because we didn't get started digging until 7:30. I hope this place pans out. It looks real good so far. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

RE: The hole is looking good. - 8/17/2007 12:40:40 PM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Hey Zane, Geat dig.  I was looking through one of my bottle books the other night and saw a pattern flask similar to yours.  It was listed as a whisk broom flask.  And I guess that would make it a figural.  Great Dazey Churn, don't let my wife see that thing.  She has been after me for ages to buy her one, and like Spence said they go for over a hundred down here.  By the way, is Your wife doing ok Now ? < Message edited by logueb -- 8/17/2007 12:43:38 PM > _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
