Hey Taz -

Again, great finds! The amber Buckingham's Whisker dye bottle is from R. P. Hall of Nashua, NH. Here's the link to a neat trade card from that outfit.

Thanks for the info Sam! Here is another group of bottles I dug yesterday at a new dump I located earlier this spring. This T.O.C. dump is still partially frozen but these goodies might shed a glimpse of things to come! Recovered items are as follows Browns Sarsaparilla, 1 Pint mason jar with ground lip, a green "ten pin" Odiorne's soda from Portland , Me..... A Joseph Kern & Co. Forest Hills, Mass... beer???? and a Caswell- Massey N.Y. Med? Wendy (Onabininger) accompanied me on this 2 hr exploratory dig... she recovered a straight sided emerald green coke, wow was she happy! I hope she will post it when her work is caught up!!!! Happy digg'n all! Taz

Thank God the ground is still frozen... You'd be trenching your way to Canada by now and showing us all those "puurrfect" bottles that you have been finding![8D]

Thanks, for not diving...![;)]
