I'm a 77 year old newbie. I've waded four creeks and all I've founded is the bottom 1/3 of a '56 coke bottle. I catch is knowing where to wade and dirt. I'm trying. Any suggestions will be appreciated. HarvieI'm in Georgia, same spot all my life, and a little too far to travel to dig, but hope all you guys do well, because Alabama, in my opinion, has some of the very best and rarest bottles in the nation. The early and primitive Coster & Coxe from Montgomery, Cullum's Spring from Choctaw Co., Bailey Spring Water from Florence, Talladega Sulphur Water and the incredibly rare Easley's Saloon from Huntsville, one of the coolest historic flasks out there, bar none. Gotta be more out there, so best of luck!

I found this a week agoDo you have a Pic of this Easleys Flask? would love to see it., I visit Huntsville often but never dug there. LEON.
P.S. Don't forget most off the good Coke Hutch's come from Alabama.
Looks like 20 different ones listed on Hutchbook.com Link below. Nice find. Congrats. LEON.I found this a week ago
I saved these from a post here or on FB by somebody who apparently has the flask now. The kicker is that several years ago, I had it, one of the two known C.T. Bond flasks from New Albany, Mississippi, and the Fitzpatrick from Chattanooga all lined up on the shelf in my shop. The owner offered all three to settle a 6K debt on another deal. My dumbass passed on the insanely generous offer, and needless to say, I have kicked myself ever since. I have to say it was meant to be, I guess, because a couple of months later, I needed every penny on April 15, but that's just life. These aren't the best pictures, but they're all I've seen. This is the half-pint. There is a badly damaged quart pictured in McKearin/Wilson on page 429. Both sizes are the only examples known. If there's a half-pint and a quart, you know dang well there's a pint out there somewhere. There may be more beautiful flasks, but it's hard to beat this mold for cool.Do you have a Pic of this Easleys Flask? would love to see it., I visit Huntsville often but never dug there. LEON.
