Hey Matt,

Great onsite dig photos, sir! Thanks for sharing them with us. Looks as if you guys had a helluva fun weekend and great results.

Here's hoping we get to see some cleaned up photos, too, please.

A "violin and 3 leather whips" you say. Gottta be some serious backstory down there somewhere...

Totally awesome finds. Never see any flasks while diving for bottles.

Thanks for posting.

Here are a couple posted on behalf of philajdh who is en route to Iowa at this very time to serve with Ameracorps. Guess the Twitchell is common? Nice bottle regardless. Also Dr. D. Jayne's Expectorant (PHILADa) and a decapitated Wm. M. REX 211 Green St filled with that great smelling Philly use layer. (just a pinch between your cheeks and gums)

He has left these examples with me for safekeeping until his return next year. I have been informed he has connected with the Iowa diggers prior to his departure. Ray

Where did you find that big a**ed roller? All they have around here is junk plastic.
