Think slick Hutch's are harder to find than embossed. I have only ever found one , compared to 20 + embossed ones

When river bottles are buried in the mud, for whatever reason it keeps them nice and clean.
Yup. Noticed that in a river bank dump I dig. All wet muddy soil and I think it's because there is no coal ash to form soil acids.

I was thinking the same thing, it would have all had to been done by hand. It was hard enough making bottles. All there is is a circle with looks like a capital O above it and on the bottom two numbers. Even when it dried out it's super clean except for that black stuff you get murick acid gets rid of that.

I've only talked about 10:15 in the last 3 4 years. The summer I'm up to 24 bottles in the river. Not much time left though, always next year
