Me & Tom Got out again today. We probed a spot in the past that I was not to impressed with but Tom thought it was a great spot. It looked good on the Sanborn Maps. SO, After much delay we decided to try it today. The first 2 feet Tom found a Koppitz Melcher Quart Blob Top Beer. A good sign. BUT, After the first 2 feet it was about 3 feet of a clay cap we had to dig through. I was questioning if anything else was in there but Tom would repeatly probe through the 3 feet of Clay & insist under it was a ton of bottles. He wouldn't let me probe it I don't know, just had to take his word. After 3 feet & through the thick & hard as a rock Clay cap Tom hits some shards but not much else, he tires out & I jump in to pull out a Cantrell & Cochrane Dublin Belfast Torpedo bottle. I figure it's gotta be 1870's because the broken Pikes Peak flask had a 1870's type of top lip on it. But I figure that Koppitz was maybe 1880's or 90's. PIC BELOW. LEON.
