Josh & Doug,

Nice digs, had to be fun! The Bmore drug bottle is killer, great color and SIZE! The baltimore book lists only three varients and 2 sizes in one of the varients. All are listed as clear and two are listed as HYSORE & CORNING or HYSORE & CO with another address. Only one is listed as W.F. HYSORE and HARLEM PARK, no monogram, no street address, it's a 4" oval.

wow! nice finds, looks like you were using a machine to dig judging by the tracks in the background. If I got to use a machine on my bottle digs I would probably have a pile of old stuff like that too. I have to use a shovel[:mad:]. Do you know someone with a JCB or something? Nice finds either way!!!!!!!

I knew you guys would catch on,damn it.Haha!Actually we dug by shovel in a yard and were looking to dig another pit but the heat got the best of us so we did the pick on a lot they were resurfacing for parking.I am surprised that nobody noticed the bottles were computer generated illusions.Just kidding guys.Thanks for the comments.Doug


In all actuality we dug this hole using the Pennsylvania method.Here are our tools.

lol geeze doug everyones catchin on to the fake digs!! Because im sure that youve had an unlisted baltimore teal druggist in a large size just sittin around your house so that you could put some mud on it and hold it in a yard and say you dug it!! I mean where did that really come from? lol You know next time instead of just adding a cut you could make it look like he lost a finger for a greater effect[:D]. Wow too funny. I love that druggist doug! and them flasks aint too shabby either[:)]
