Very Nice case Gin MikeO...[8D] I remember where I found my first (case Gin...)[&:]

Keep diggin... looks like the ash level is pretty thick. I hope you score some more good ones in there.

Any water, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams or oceans around... give me a call!! Maybe I could even jump into a well!![;)]

Nice pics, Mike. I have yet to find my first intact case gin. I've been ripping up an older dump that has been giving up lots of inks and olive green ales among other things. Got my first good blob out of there last time. Good luck with the rest of that site. ~Jim

Here are my keepers cleaned up. Some are still sick and will need to be tumbled like the QT Carters master ink. I will post before and after pic's when I am done tumbeling. The gin truly came oup premo. If I saw it at an antique store I would think it came from an attic and not dug.

Excellent finds! I can't get over this state when it comes to digging, so many dumps so little time [:mad:] I definately will be throwing some tarps over some of my best holes and bringing the sledge for some winter digging!

Here's one example of NH's famous *LAYERS OF GOLD* [:D]

Hey Mike, What great results!!! I've never managed to turn up a case gin, and that one is just super. The ink looks great too, even if it has a crack. That site has treated you very well over the past couple of weeks. You're digging so-o-o deep, I hope someone's covering your back side while you're down there. Hope you turn some more 'goodies'. - billm
