Unfortunately we had to stop progress on the 22 footer due to the fact that  the water raised up about 12 feet , so we'll have to come back to it at a later time - but  Fortunately we start a brickliner that has shade for the hot , hot 100 degree temperature. With the pressure of time we were only able to take a few pictures.

 Buddy stands over the hole awaiting a bucket load of dirt.

 David starts off with the Mini - Brick liner. This is the narrowest one that we've ever dug.

 Down around 13 feet we hit these 3 beauties ! Dr. McLeans Strengthening Cordial & Blood Purifier. I believe this is a St Louis Bottle.

 Here's a closeup of 2 of the bottles.

The hole ended up  going about 16 or 17 feet deep with alot of cramping and back aches , sore legs .... Some of the other bottles that we found were a black glass ale , 2 plain Pickles , about 6 Memphis Druggists , lots of  slick utilities and druggists,  and 3 hard rubber Combs plus other odds and ends bottles. We'll see you next week with some great bottles !

I found this add on another Web site.
