Yesterday was nice so I got out and did a little digging behind a toc house. I found a nice fill that went down about three feet and dug it out. It was full of mainly meds and most were just plain. But at the bottom of the fill was the remains of several tin cans. As I began to dig through them I saw the bottom of a aqua soda bottle. Funny it was stuck down in what looked like a large peach can that crumbled to dust as I worked the bottle out. It was worth the time and effort as I got a minty local Electra Soda Water. These are teens era and come in 3 styles with one being aqua, one amber (looks like a script Coca Cola base script) and then one with a picture design of the Electra water well. The well is still running today alongside a historic marker telling of the well etc. For some reason the one I dug is the hardest of the three to find . After digging I got into a local attic and got several nice pieces out of it. Two bottles were in the crawl space one was a local RWB Pepsi and the other the rare Kick with the farmer. The kick has some fade but they are getting impossible to find so it will serve as a good trader etc since I have a mint one.
