Folks back then weren't as patriotic as today. The young people in the military today are all volinteers and they are doing a great job. Makes me proud.

Within about 5 mins we saw a nice wood wall and within 20 mins we had all four walls exposed. It was a 4x4 hole and started hitting ash about 2-3 feet down. First bottle that popped out was a 1890's amber slick med, wasnt to excited yet. Dug for about another hour and nothing had come up but some broken fruit jars and some more slick meds. Got down around 5 1/2 foot level and more glass started pokin out. First desent bottle was about an 1880s polish bottle that said something like acme blackining trademark something someting. Then we pulled out a few pretty cool acme baby nurser bottles both being broken. After that we didnt pull anything out for a while whole everything was broken, including a real nice empire spring water bottle in a varient i have never seen before, a couple local meds, a real nice wax sealer UNION fruit jar, and some other stuff. The last good bottle to come out of the hole was a Magic liniment from Easton Pa. The hole ending up being about 6 to 6.5 foot deep and dating around 1890-1880. So this hole kinda sucked but at lest I can say we didnt get skunked. And the best part is I probed 2 more pits in the same yard, and I can garentee you on is gona be REAL OLD. So im lookin forward to digging that friday :) Take care everyone and enjoy the pics                                                  Your fellow digger Ry (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 89
