First Warners Safe

[nhpicker]

I still remember the first Warner's I dug. I ended up digging six that day, all mint. I know how you felt when you dug it. You and Hunter are making some great finds. Thanks for sharing and good luck out there.

Those are really cool bottles. I've dug shards to the Warner's and I've only owned 2. I got lucky on buying them. The first one was $5 and my last one was $1. I still have that one but man is it stained bad. Your's is in great shape. Looks like you had a good day. Swiz

Thanks Fred, Red Ginger, Micah that's how I made my guess I had just dug one. Joe I think we need to hear that confiscation story! Kate I almost tossed the cover it look like a broken piece of pottery. Nhpicker if I dug 5 I would have passed out in the hole and floated out with the next tide
Again thanks to everyone for looking and your support. It's nice to have somewhere to show my finds

Congrats on the nice haul ! Is that pot lid whole or damaged? Thats something you don't often see dug !

The lid has a hole in the center
it was done by someone for a reason other than that it's perfect

Mainer1, believe it or not I dug those 6 mint ones in a farm dump out toward Rochester, NH. It is a day of digging I will never forget. I also dug a ton of whiskey bottles in the same dump. It seemed the farmer who owned the property may have had a drinking problem and tried to combat his live/kidney failure but drinking lots of Warner's. Digging the bottles is fun, but even more so, learning about the people and their habits back then is even more fun.

hunter2000 and I were talking about that today.
We agreed that someone had kidney problems and was medicating himself.
Probably to the point of intoxication
It so happens I deliver bread in Rochester everyday
thanks for your input
