Ive used rubbing alcohol to get molasses type whiskey glued in a bottle out, it works very well, for the hard stuff hydrochloric acid, but it is very dangerous, any acid is very dangerous.  Use Long rubber masonry gloves and wear goggles! hey one request, have you cleaned the Tree flask?  sure would like to see that baby.... and again, congratulations, you just made bottle digging history! < Message edited by tigue710 -- 8/6/2007 10:14:27 PM > (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 66

If I saw a amber glass coke at a store now I would buy it and drink it, just because of the color, not even because I'm a bottle hound! and we know shape and color were used as advertising even back then, maybe these people picked some these bottle because they were different?

Its great to know that this kind of stuff is still out there. The thimg I think is so great that money dosnt enter into it. You and your partner should be commended. Most people want to sell it and split the proceeds. Me? I would rather you have it on your shelf. Thats what digging is really all about. Yea its nice to put a dollar figure on things. But I dont "dig for dollars" I go to work for that. I wouldnt be able to sleep for a week after digging something like that. Good job, (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 77

My buddy and I are in a big slow period right now.Not a whole lot going on.I am getting things done at home so I can get out and dig more, if that makes any sense. We have our good times and bad. I like to look back at the good times, it makes these dry spells more bearable. As to your comment on the way we split.If it (ain't broke don't fix it.)  Rick < Message edited by RICKJJ59W -- 11/10/2008 5:42:41 AM > _____________________________ My Web Page.Lots of pix.
