Yeah the best two of three were the flask and pickle. Each is authentic and real. The schultz is a common bottle as stated. For price it would go Pickle 100+, flask $70 - 90 area, and Schultz $20. Nice finds. Too bad you couldnt dig the privy......might be work asking.

The last time I tried that I was 11 and, well, a cute kid if I do say so myself. I was looking at a Drakes in a window and did the "cold knock". I had $5 which in 11 year old dollars in 1971 was big money.
No luck at all, some neighbor! [:D][:D][:D]

I have a guy who gives me permissions to dig on construction lots. His bobcat guy told me that he would save any bottles he found and toss them off to the side for me. One day after work, I drove by to see what was going on and there laid my usual pile of bottles. Being covered in dirt, I didn't pay much attention to them as I boxed then up. As far as I was concerned, they were all common keepers. Later that night I decided to rinse them off for storing and as I began to was what I thought was a common whiskey cylinder... the embossing began to appear!!! Hunter & Bissicks Lex Ky in Amber! Only one I've ever seem and I got 800 bucks for it. :p
