Augusta, Georgia "Big Dig" PICTURES

[Wheelah23]

Cool dig! I'd be there in a flash if I was down in Georgia. I doubt those bottles could be worth that much, and I trust Ed when it comes to cures.

Any SC Dispensary bottles yet?

Any SC Dispensary bottles yet?

I wasn't there for the last pick, and my brother sold most of his picks back to the diggers, since he's not a bottle collector either, so I only got bits and pieces about what has already been found. I don't remember any comment about SC Dispensary bottles found though.

They found one jug that was determined to be "Slave Art", and even though it was broken, I believe my brother said they got $6,000 for it. Another thing they found that brought a significant amount of money was a "Monkey Jug", which I think was sort of like a jug that was filled with water and passed to a crew of workers (slaves?), but I don't remember how much that went for. Another thing found the day I was there was a ceramic spittoon. It was very nice looking, and was in good overall condition, but I don't have a clue about it's value, just that I would like to have had it in my house on a shelf as a conversation piece.

Continuing with the pictures where I left off...
