Howzit Brad!
when was your last dig out Big Island? we've been digging this cave on and off. My friend got a nice serrao a few years back in this hole.

Mostly teens stuff. A few nice oriental meds now and then. Perfect age for that ever elusive "Busy Corner" druggist bottle..[;)]

I need to winch one of the cars out of the way to safely dig more. The earthquake shifted the car about two feet. Still got a nice layer down under.

Remember the earthquake I told you about a week ago? well it caved in a big portion of it so bottles are exposed.

Aloha Tony,

Mahalo's for the Rumble in the Jungle dig! I wanna see those guys and their many friends lounging in the grass after their bath, please.

The pick of the bunch. These come in two sizes and this is the larger and harder one to get of the two. Funny thing is that I've dug two large ones and no small ones. can't complain.[:)]

The kanji reads: owners name ( Tanbei), trading company (Shoukai), heart (shinzou) pills.

Don't know what kind of heart pills were around in 1910? Any USA heart medicine back in that time period?

Presumably Rocky,
It's purpose was to seek vigilante style justice from evil wrongdoers, or something like that. You think its a coincidence that you found it in a cave?

Couple of barber bottles. Common in clear and aqua. Amber I've dug two one with a brass stopper. Bother turn mold. The amber is a bit earlier.

Now for some color. love these oriental food jars. Some held dried seaweed and pickled stuff. Pretty common but they got the crudeness that I love.
