DANG BILL! Nice Digs [8D]. Congrats.
So far, these type of finds are still deep in my dreams only...
Is the house still standing? You find any other pits there?

The Mt Clemens mineral water was the only one. There were three other mineral waters, all damaged.

Thanks for all the nice replies. Tom and I are going to put both bottles on the market, after I tumble them.

We still do not have a McKearin # for the flask, so until that happens, it sure can't be sold.

Some bottles do better on eBay, while others do better in a high end auction, so we need to decide how to get the best bang for our buck. It just goes against my grain making a buyer pay an auction company 12-15% or more.

These came out of a vacant lot and there are a couple of pits left there to dig. We are crossing our fingers, as we believe there should be an older pit.

I have my bottles in boxes but dug up this old picture of one of the ones we dug in what appears to be the same mold. Not green of course. I wouldn't worry too much about it not being categorized in McKearin as there are dozens of molds of these later flasks that are not covered. Be sure to post a picture of yours when it is cleaned. The color looks great
