Went digging Saturday and I ended up finding an above ground Cache site the miners made and their Can dump. I dig the biggest Lea & Perrins bottle I've ever seen. A Quart size, what a beast.

I spotted some glass under the moss and found these laying next to each other.

I've never dug a bottle with this base mark before.

Curtice Bros bottle. I also dug a few Snider as well.

digging this broken three piece mold was my crier of the day.

A generic med with cork still in it came out from under some cans.

This is what I kept for the day in bottles. I left all those pink Catsup bottles behind.

Cool finds. Any beer cans? LEON.

Thanks Leon and heck no. Everything dates from 1896-1920's. This Valley is 7 miles long and we have yet to find a flat top Can in it.

Didn't know they sold Lea and Perrins in a quart. man, you know you are eating a LOT of bad beef when you need that stuff by the quart. :)

I've dug a few quart ones in my day and they were all at logging camp sites or hotel dumps. Cool finds!

what a neat looking place to be exploring , I've never been to Alaska or the Yukon .

I found a Lea and Perrins bottle like yours a couple years ago when I was swimming , at the time I though it was a beer bottle until I got to dock and saw what it was
