Had to dig three holes , two were power poles, but the last was a privy.
Down about 6 feet hit the use layer were I found a few unembossed clear
flasks and broken stuff, cleaned out the corner and there she was. Hope the
picture comes out. Here is the link also:

That is one beautiful pumpkinseed Karl. I dug a striking Emerald green one last year that I thought was the prettiest one around but I believe it now runs a close 2nd to yours. Congratulations! [;)] Kelley

Hey Karl: Good for you! Did you use Sanborns to locate the vicinity of the privy? As you can tell, I'm finally back to playing a little on my computer. Will check out those Sanborns you sent me today, Sunday, and get back to you soon. Thanks much. Seriously beautiful bottle.

Jay,

Let me know what pages you still need from Burlington and I will
send one at a time. Thanks for the offer of the bottles.

Talk to you soon,

Brandon,

Hope I can help you out with some Hawaii maps. Let me know if
the one I sent is any good and the other towns you need?

The privy the bottle came out of was from a small ghost town called
Copper Arizona, just used my probe because I have no maps for this
town. Dug two telegraph pole holes and the third was a privy!

Talk to you soon,

Karl
