In a return visit the next day we did not find the handle. But that task was made very difficult after the original hole was more then half way re filled. We ended up digging a big hole next to the filled in hole. In the back corner of the new hole I looked in the area the handle could of been but did not find it. I (we) did find this stuff though. The GEM. LEON.
And some Berma Balm? Anybody familiar with this? Tom got a Mason jar with funky cool looking purplish bluish irredecent colors & Maltese cross & 1858 Patent #. I know common, probably dug 50 of these but I liked this one. Tom kept some other goodies but can't remember what they were? Maybe he'll post a picture of his stuff? LEON.
Burma Shave was started in 1925 so maybe the Berma Balm is a shaving related knockoff of a Burma Shave product ? Maybe an after shave lotion ? You guys find the coolest stuff Leon and I really like reading about your digs.
