I got out a couple of hours early today, so I git up a spot I started to dig two weeks ago. This is the same spot I found the JPS bottle before. Today I found another with the same green color. I also found lots of broken beauties. If you have any info on any of the broken pieces, I would love to hear it. The very large jug is stamped O.L. or O.K & A.K. Ballard. Below that I think it says Burlington, but not to sure. One of the other soda/beer bottles says Curran & Joyce Lawrence Mass. The amber colored shard has these words that I could make out: Adams, Bacteria, Destoryer, & Killer. Oh and check out the cool applied top on the one on the left. Really wish I could have found more whole ones.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to clean bottles that have been in ash layered dirt like the ones seen. I don't really want to ruin the bottles by scrubbing them. Thanks.

Sounds like you've got parts of a Radam's Microbe Killer...

Looks like you've got a good digging spot. The applied top on the left that you mentioned is most likely the top of a case gin. Good luck in your digs!
