To bad you do not have a backhoe. If it is a well, the interior wall would be lined with rock. If it is a privy, probably not lined with rock. The closeness to the house, makes me think a privy. Probably worth digging it, if you are young and strong. Cheers
Thanks for the info Eddie and Casper. I have been a casual collector for the past 30 years. Only picking up what may be on the surface. I believe I will start digging and become a nut like the rest of you guys.
This is a 1 gallon whiskey jug I recently found in the woods, in nearly perfect condition. The label says: SEND ORDERS TO DRY FORK DISTRIBUTING CO. DISTILLERS & SHIPPERS OF PURE 100 PROOF CORN WHISKEY
DRY FORK, VA. My research shows that the company stopped making whiskey with the coming...
I also found a fleming exactly like the one you have pictured. Found in eastern nc, don't remember where, back in the late '70's or early 80's. I know a bit more about it now.
