Matt,

Sorry I was calling you Gunther. I have attached a picture of a very rare Prescott bottle I dug from a pit not to long ago. It is only from 1895 but one of the rarest Arizona medicines.

No problem , I answer to Gunther Hess just as well.
Is that bottle marked Arizona Territory??? If so when did it change to just Arizon? The bottle looks like it 1880s or later.

Matt,

The bottle in the picture is from 1895 according to the books. The Burke Hotel burned to the ground in 1900 along with quite a section of downtown Prescott. Harry Brisley "you have an everything curative from him" was located in the Burke Building for at least five years. Arizona was the 47th State and did not get statehood until Feb. of 1912, so we had a chance for quite a few A.T. bottles.

Have probed out a line of pits and will hopefully soon get permission, will post some pics on the digging and finding section. Will only dig a few more pits in Prescott, have about all known bottles from here. I want to leave some pits for future diggers. Next on the list is Jerome and Flagstaff.

Have attached a picture of my secret weapon for finding pits.

Oh ya HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Karl

I consider the "territory" maked bottles some of the most interesting as they illustrate part of American history. Nice bottle.

Hey Kharar,

When he is looking for the pits, is he an open bayer or a silent trailer.

Better keep up with him.

Joel,

He is very quite until he finds a pit and then he bays. I took samples from 8 or 10 pits and trained him with treats and the privy dirt. Find a pit get a treat. He has found pits with up to two feet of fresh fill over the top!

His name is Rufus the amazing pit hound.
