RE: Bottle seal, There are three omega symbols. One before and after the Word?? on top, IXAL and one bottom center dividing two letters on either side we can't make out. The bottles 2 1/2x 2 1/2x 14", when Ian found it he said it was coverd with a woven material that fell apart. I've tried using the omega with oil,wine and lliquor without any luck. Heres a couple more pics and as allways thanks for the help. Don

I just want to say I hate you Don.Not really, not at all even. I just wanted to say it because I'm not there. Can I say envy, yup.

I didn't mean to hurt your fellings. I'm going over to grab some more in a little while so why don't you go ask your mother if you can come out to play. I'd really like to throw ya in the hole... DD

Well i waited quite a while and finally went over by myself. Went to climb in and step down in on the dirt covering like I do then it caved in a bit. "Somebody" must have run into a vein in there. All fun and good,brought what I could back and added to the stuff Ian and I didn't bring back last time. Didn't get much cleaned up the water started to freeze, thought I'd better call it quits.Man i wish there was a tree or something on that pretty one... DD
