Dream Dig: Barrel bitters dug from an incredible dump!

I watched you dig that just last night. Super find. Not too many "okay guys" either. Some of these dig sites the diggers must use the phrase "okay guys" about 50 times an hour. Gets annoying. One really doesn't have to say anything between shots as us (the viewing public) don't know you are...

capers bottle

Was on this site back in 2003. I remember the conversations about capers bottles and what a caper was. Lots of input at the time from Harry.

Dug a Kings Ransom.

Bottle would have to date after 1963 or so because of the absence of "Federal law prohibits".

Pop! Pop! Pop!

That story is a myth. I have found the word "pop" on bottles that pre date Mathews. "California pop beer" comes to mind. When did this story switch from "hutch" bottles to "gravitators"? Read Ron Fowlers opinion on this at Hutchbook.com. Nice story but not true.
