Hello All,
Me and my boys dug a spot I've been scouting out for a while near work.. Dug for about 2 hours and got a few good ones, most were matted in roots. Still in the process of cleaning..
I always enjoy all the pictures you guys and gals post..
Here are a few pictures..

Beautiful bottles!
I agree with Kastoo - I've got some young-uns a bit to small to be rolling around in the glass just yet, but I'm excited to get them into it. Looks like a blast to be digging with your sons. Great bottles, too!!

Looks like a fun dig. The Dr Harters also comes in Aqua and a rarer Sample size one. The Groves Chill Tonic started in Paris Tn and later moved to St Louis Mo. They made them for many years even up through screw top etc. Nice post can't wait to see what all you have. DMD

Thanks for all the posts, I hope to get a few more out of the pit,
Here are a few cleaned up, the case gin on the right reads 'Calhoun Distilling Co. Birmingham Alabama' It was the first bottle I pulled out of the pit during lunch when was digging a test hole for any signs of trash..
