GREAT FINDS! My company has an office in Allentown Pa and my Aunt lives in Ohio. One day I hope to dig in both states. Arizona is fun digging; if you are ever in the state give me a shout and I will line a couple of pits up.
KEEP ON DIGGIN!

Hi All,
I was up to above 70 percent at getting permission with a simple cold call , introduce myself and I collect bottles by digging for them. After this I would ask to probe and address there concerns about "what ever". Main thing I heard was there is nothing back there. Usually I would...
Q,
Do not be so sure you can not dig in Las Vegas; I am sure that buildings are knocked down once and a while in the old downtown area. Have you looked at the Sanborn maps for Vegas? I have the entire state of Nevada and will check them out; could send you Vegas?
Do not know to much...
Joel,
He is very quite until he finds a pit and then he bays. I took samples from 8 or 10 pits and trained him with treats and the privy dirt. Find a pit get a treat. He has found pits with up to two feet of fresh fill over the top!
His name is Rufus the amazing pit hound.

I think it is some sort of chemistry bottle. A certain chemical was in this container and could be mixed with others by unclamping a tube that led from the nipple.
Matt,

I only know a few other diggers in AZ; are there any more out there??
I am in Prescott and dig as much as possible. Learned how to probe and find pits myself out here; which is pretty hard. Sure have learned to probe a lot and dig a little. Dug a few to many empty 8 foot holes were I should...
Matt,
Sorry I was calling you Gunther. I have attached a picture of a very rare Prescott bottle I dug from a pit not to long ago. It is only from 1895 but one of the rarest Arizona medicines.
