Jim, now you got me wondering if this is a Lewistown bottle?

Steve, That is very possibly a Lewistown bottle. Very cool!

Denny, This was one of our best pits yet. We have permission for one nearby if we can find it, hopefully we will!

Best wishes for Carol. Gene and I will be thinking of you. ~Jim

Sick Rick! Your pit is looking good, my man. Those shards suggest a sweet-azz trash layer below.

We have another one lined up that is owned by the same guy who restored the brick house where we just dug. It should be good, the house there was 1830s. If it takes a month, we will find it! ~Jim
