Status: offline 		I also have dug a broken green Capt Bragg 1/2 pint, a KCCNC(keene) 1/2 pint, a cornucopia/urn 1/2 pint (all 3 were in the same spot). On another dig,  I got a broken op berry jar, an op  lion cologne,and at the very bottom of the same pit was a complete but flattened op forest green quart double eagle.  I dug the iron pontilled base to a teal green Cornell and Folsom/ Wahoo and Sarsaparilla/ Ny  ...oh the list could go on and on...........this pic is a dark green cylinder base I found, it has something embossed on it...like.C1 ?

Status: offline 		Okay, here's a real tear jerker and most likely the top Western bottle. Circa 1858-59 open pontil large cathedral pickle bottle embossed on three sides: "BAKER & CUTTING / GLASS & PICKLE MFRS. / SAN FRANCISCO" in a bright yellow green color. We dug this unit about  six months ago from a 12' deep privy.
I've dug these busted in colors ranging from golden amber to pale aqua. To date there's only one known intact example that is pale aqua.

Before then there were only about 6 or 8 whole examples of these bottles known, in two sizes. They are a patent stopper that was only used in this color by two companies in the whole of the UK.

Status: offline 		We've given quite a few of the broken ones away to various folks. The rest have gone back into the ground!

There were a few other decent finds in the site, including a small group of rare early printed pot lids (a nice rare London bears grease among them - photo below just after it came out of the ground), and a scattering of bottles from other companies and other towns. None of the other bottles were anything special though.
