Back in 2005, I posted a few digs called Honey Hole under the name BOTLDGR03. With all the older dumps petering out, I decided to give it another try. I sift all my dirt, so for you bottles only this post may not interest you as much. The ivy was terrible, mosquitoes whining, and the temps were in the low 90's. My wife is highly allergic to poison ivy, so I have to dig with thin coveralls. Talk about brutal. Managed to find a few keepers, plenty of smalls, and 2 crier shards.

I always enjoy digging bottles that I haven't dug before. This is one of those bottles. It is an amber bim cylinder embossed / JNO. T. MILLIKEN & CO. This bottle is supposed to have LACTROSE arched on top and ST. LOUIS, MO. on the bottom which have all been peened out.
