    Digging a John Eichler Blob-Top Beer (Feb. 20th 2023)

    Sigh ... Clinton Bottling Works Augusta GA

    So they drug a blade across a large field and I noticed some old brick sticking out. Spotted one piece of glass sticking out ... nothing too spectacular and wish it wasn't clipped, but you never know where something is going to crop up. No other bottles note, some glass but not enough to...

    Philadelphia Privy Prizes

    A couple weeks ago me and a buddy located a privy right smack in the middle of the ghetto. Yanked a few keepers and filled the hole back in before it got too dark. More to come, pretty sure there are at least 4 or 5 all in the same vicinity.
