RE: 2008 Digger Ry Privy Digs - 1/19/2008 1:25:53 AM    bottlediger Posts: 1453 Joined: 2/19/2006 From: York Pa Status: offline Went out for a night dig tonight in a sketchy part of my home town (york) man that wasn’t a good idea. I always said I wouldn’t dig in york at night and I really should have stuck to that. Started digging around 8pm and finished at 12pm. During that time I encountered 6 crack heads, not the friendliest type, a gang of 6 straight out thugs decked out with their gats, and I heard one burst of pistol fire (5 shots) about 2 blocks away. For two hours this gang of 6 was breaking in 3 of the 4 abandoned houses that were around me all within 50 yards. They had no idea I was down 7 ft in a pit peaking up and watching there crazy activities. This brought digging to a near halt. For the last 30 mins I saw them, they were spray painting one of the houses with some more gang crap. I don’t know what they wrote but I do know what was on there before they got there and it was NUTS. One thing said some date cop shot in the head, you got what you deserved and the other stuff was pretty much to the same nature. It was just crazy and I sure as crap didn’t want them to catch me watching them. But with all that going on, I finished the pit, which turned out to be 1880s. I got a few bottles I haven’t seen before and a few local meds I didn’t have, a cough syrup from Baltimore I never dug before but probably common, and also a pretty cool chamber pot but I might only have about 60-80% of it, ill have to check tomorrow. Ill post pictures of all the bottles tomorrow after I clean them up, they are in the temp adjustment stage right now.

RE: 2008 Digger Ry Privy Digs - 1/20/2008 12:29:02 PM    lexdigger   Posts: 929 Joined: 5/31/2005 From: Lexington, Ky. Status: offline Nice digs Ry! Sounds like a few of the digs I've had in the hood! When we dig down there we are almost always approached by crackheads, prostitutes, and gang bangers. I'm usually strapped and try to keep a watch up top so no one can sneak up on me! I've actually never had any Real problems and you definatly don't have to worry about the cops down there, they've got bigger problems to deal with! I can't tell you anything about the N.Y. druggist but let me know what you find out on it. I'd be interested in it if you want to trade or sell it. My dad's side of the family is from Poughkeepsie and we still go up there to visit pretty regularly. As a matter of fact, the next time we drive up I'm gonna bring my probe and do some digging!!!

Unlike the Hoyt's bottles, the local perfume bottles can be pretty neat and rare to boot. I've managed to get almost ten San Francisco perfumes (Not including Florida Waters) over the past 25 years of collecting.  Most of these are similar Hoyt-style bottles.

Blocks like that are used in making lewelry. if you have ever seen a nugget pendant or ring they origanlly started out as a craving in a block just like that. I have seen many different nickle colognes that used that same style bottle but Hoyt's must have been a national favorite. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 55
