yeeee haaa!!!!!!!!! - 2/26/2007 4:49:48 PM    probe zilla   Posts: 88 Joined: 12/14/2005 Status: offline  I've been diggin for quite a few years and never thought i would dig a bottle like this, I just dont find bottles like this in my neck of the woods,  me and a buddy have been diggn a dump where the bottles date to 1885 at the oldest, that was until today, we dug for a few hours didnt find alot just the usual meds and such, on the way out i noticed a few shards of toc glass started probing and heard that sound that just makes you cringe, so i started digging, and i couldn't beleive my eyes.  some people might  not think much of it but it is the oldest and best bottle by far that i have ever dug Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I was next to my digging buddy back in the early '70's when he pulled out a black Townsends... And all I could come up with was a C. A. Richards with the backward embossed letters/numbers... I was soooooooo jealous... Ron _____________________________ "I LOVE Wolfies!!!!!!!!!!!!" (in reply to probe zilla) Post #: 4

That is the kind of bottle that keeps you digging hard. Wonder what other treasure may be in that dump? _____________________________ 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 annie44) Post #: 8

It was bright teal, iron pontiled and PULVERIZED .
