I dug 4 glazed whiskey jugs the other day! All were inside what appeared to be a big barrel or cabinet in the ash layer. I popped out a a couple paper labeled bottles that were inside as well that are mildy still intact which usually blow away in the wind with me. Just thought I’d share happy hunting everybody!

I love the jugs. Labels never stay on for me either. I get a ghosting but not like those. The Old Tom Gin label even has some of the color. Crazy. Thanks for the show! I love them all.

Those are the first jugs that I’ve found that weren’t slick my heart was thumpin.
The labels are a first for me also I’m going to attempt to maybe put some plastic over the label so I can hopefully save what’s left!
Thank you for your compliment I’m still in shock.

In one of the last photos there’s a torpedo on the far left. It’s a machine made blob top which was odd for me, is this something you’ve seen before?

What do you mean by plastic? You mean to stabilize the label? I have never done that before. Clear acrylic sealer.

Machine made blob top. It is hard to see the seam on you torpedo bottle. Can you post a better picture? You mean there is a seam that goes all the way through the blob lip? I have mold blown blobs that have a seam but they stop short of the lip.
