Wasn't expecting this. I see this cop parked in front of my Construction site I want to dig at. SO, To stall time until he leaves I go to a old 1880's neighborhood to poke around with my new probe. Instead of poking around with the new probe I end up peeking under the rear porch or crawlspace under rear porch through a little hole. I'm shocked at what I see, A bunch of old wooden bushel baskets full of old bottles. Then wooden Pre Pro Beer Crates full of bottle. Pics Below. LEON.

This was in a old burned down dilapitated late 1800's house. House was probably slated for Demolision soon. Why let the bulldozers plow over these & toss in big dumpster? SO, I saved them from a future of neglect & brutality. LEON.

Way to go, Leon! That is so cool.

It pays to check every crawlspace and under the porch . down here in the south most houses are built on pylons . some time you may find stuff under them, if plumbers or cable guy didn't get there first.

Must be hundreds of bottles. Some even had the original wire lightning stopper. Got excited when I seen some blobs with wire lightning stopper but ends up false alarm, just those common citrate bottles The Wooden crate is a STROHS Beer crate (pre 1919, prepro) & I have enough Strohs bottles to fill it. I know the Strohs brothers that ran Strohs Brewery, John William Strohs the 3rd & Ed Strohs, wonder if they would be Interested in it? Probably to rough for them? LEON.
