I remember when I lived in Portsmouth, there were a lot of places named after Frank Jones.  That's a neat sign.  I can't believe all the good stuff you found!

Killer stuff, Ben! The Schroeder's Bitters is sweet. That's a great spot, I'm sure there are lots more goodies in there. The huge rocks suck, I have nightmares about those things. We call them "bottle smashers" . ~Jim

Man, I can't believe you dug a Schroeder's Bitters all the way up there! That's on my wish to dig list. I've dug a couple that were smashed, but never got a whole one. It's a Keeper for sure!!! Chris

Nice finds Ben. The Easy Vacuum Jar sells for 15 to 20 bucks without the lid and clip.

You look alot like your dad. I need to bring Cindy up that way and do a dig. She is ooohing and aaahing about those crocks.

Let me know if you are going to sell the Easy.

Ben I just looked up the Schroders Bitters - $300-$400 !   Holy crap !  Is it all in one piece!  Those ladies leg necks break so easy.  The Portsmouth sign would be maybe $150 if it was perfect, I dont know a dug one would bring, guess it depends how well they can fix it up.  The amber poison looks like a good one too.  And all those masters, especially the teal !  What a day!  How cool to share  it with Dad !  Congrats and continued good luck !

Yeah, like I said, the Schroders is definatly a Keeper! The dig of the day, for sure. It comes in a couple of variants with the ladies leg being the best. It's a great local bottle that brings national attention. Chris
