I am cold just looking at the snow and water. We are in the upper 60's and low 70's and I get chilly when it gets down to the 40's at night.

Great find. Was wondering if the tall orange bottle has a stamp imprint near shoulder and what it might say.

That is a root cellar I think. I've found a few of them out in the woods where the forgotten house is nothing but a foundation. Never found one full of water or, ahem, awesome bottles like this before though. Cheers to that score there, digger!

The tan jug is J.Friedrich Grosskarben,Frankfurt. The pics for digger dun it shows the opening to be to small for regular use. Thats one of the bottles in the water, a Duffy's Malt Whisky You can see two in the pic,they had as much fun filling the hole as were going to empting it.

 

[digger dun]

yeah, that's a pretty small hole. Maybe a cistern? Great find none the less.

For those who asked for more pics,I didn't include doubles or a nice Eagle fruit jar thats soaking. In front is a wooden laddle for that butter churn I think I was standing on. I could only uncover about half of it with my feet since I'm up to my ... in water. I'd like to thank everybody for the help and support. You've all been great!

You'll find the ink easier in this one...

Williams ink works of 444 and 446 Greenwich st New York was in business in the 1890s. It was Incorporated in 1894 in W. Virginia by J.V.Williams . Financial troubles in 1897 and could not pay its bills. This info is from Digger Odell R.I.P.
Id put that one in my collecion.
