RE: My Big find - 7/2/2006 12:33:22 AM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1136 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hey Brad - Nice discovery! I do know the feeling. I made a little bit larger haul like this years ago in an attic. A brief story w/ some examples of each is on my website. We sold most of them for a good chunk of money, but could have done much better.

Says "for pikes peak"  Old Rye I build concrete seawalls and bottles are always showing up mostly 1900s  and newer.I found this one digging into bank to make a swimming area on Sylvan Lake. seams there was a old train depot in that spot.Also fround a libery nickel there as well. besides bottles I found a IU class ring,model T parts,and a host of other things.in other lakes This is from Snow Lake I love old beer cans as well.................... and on Sylvan again a 1950s Berghoff bottle just before they closed 1953...............

Just don't research it any farther or you might ask for quite a bit more.  Swizzle (in reply to oldcrownbock) Post #: 26
