Some ice house finds...

[VA is for Diggers]

I finally got to dig the ice house of an 1890's housesite in the woods. With the help of a backhoe, we dug down to about 12', ripping out loads of old barbed wire fence and an antique car frame. A few keepers, but nothing extraordinary. Got a Dundee Marmalade, Orange, VA pepsi, jug, local Orange VA druggists, cliquot clubs, beers from NY and NJ, scarce Pepsi from Charlottesville, Cologne from Cologne (written in German), lightning rod finials, a few local whiskeys (not pictured) Martini Rossi Vermouth, Monticello Milk from Charlottesville, and a Gordonsville Milk (not pictured). Could not complain about how nice this fall has been in Virginia. Now, time to dig some civil war relics!

Hi Badger; sounds like you had a nice C-Ville dig! I have only dug once in the town, while they were scraping a new subdivision, but only got broken stuff from the scraper trail-actually 2 chelfs celery compounds were intact. If you have any scarce Charlottesville bottles such as beers, meds, whiskeys you dug, send me a message- I am interested in buying.
