I'd like to go on a dig for old times sake with Ed Provine, but it's hard to get there with my job and being in Warner Robins, Georgia.

Hi. I have potentially hundreds of bottles being uncovered in the next couple months. I need expertise on handling, storing, displaying and cleaning. Can you contact me to discuss?

I've got a full size whiskey jug with the same scratching as the mini J.J Crusman one you have listed. Any idea of the value?

I found a small jug in an old outbuilding on my farm. It is in very good condition and reads 5Lb. Mercury Spurlock-Neal Co. (but no Nashville Tenn. inscription). What did they use mercury for? Thanks.

Nice. My guess would be about $250.-$3.50.

I was living in Memphis between 1980-1983. I dug on the Memphis and West Memphis sides of the Mississippi River. The river dropped to a record low and we were able to remove cobblestones on the Beale street end of the river. I found several items, and still have some of the items. I would like to know the value of these bottles. I have a cathedral bottle with 6 windows, and a pepper sauce bottle with 20 rings. Can you help me? I would be more than happy to send a photo of the bottles. Thanks!

I live in a house built in 1866 (or earlier). I FOUND THE CISTERN. I am not capable of digging it, I'm offering it to you! I'm in South Bend Indiana. Please call 5742347938 if you're interested or know anyone who is!
HEY Allyson,
Unfortunately we won't be able to make it up there anytime soon. Maybe someone will see this post and give you a call. Thank you, Mike
