We are going back this Saturday. We all work all week. Found the well, and it's the site of the Miramar Hotel from the 1840's. TONS of bottles left to dig ;). I will post pics. Wish us luck!

I always find it's cool to look at the tax rolls, find the owner, contact them about getting the bottles out of the site before they sell it, construct on it, etc...
That's the absolute best thing about living in the South. The people are so nice. And yes, I capitalized South :)

We found quite a bit of broken glass. Isn't that always the way? Three mold whiskey's, open pontil wines, tons of plates and hotel debris. It was the site of the Miramar Hotel. Still going to dig the privies. I will post some pics from that dig. Wish us luck. Should be good this coming weekend as it hasn't rained in a few days.
