When we first arrived at this lot Buddy's first stick of the probe was a spot that felt decent but not overly excitable so we decided to look more before digging the first probed spot. But guess what? We came back to the same area and and probed another hole that only yielded few average bottles on the top. The best one being this Hyde - Park St Louis crown top.
Then we came back to Buddy's "First Stick"! Here's how it went.

Just below the surface Buddy reaches down for a tall Hock Wine.


Buddy also comes up with these 2 C.J. Hargan Memphis Blobs !

A Davis Vegetable Pain Killer and a Memphis bottle with the same shape . With these bottles found almost together it would make since that this A. Renkert would be filled with the same snake oil.
We also found this "Unknown " amber cylindrical bottle from Memphis ! Neat! For information on this bottle click here


Mike comes up with a hard to find Diehl & Danbury Hutchinson soda. This privy only went down about 5 1/2 or 6 feet. but it was about 6' by 5' with wood walls.


Not a bad days haul. Some of the bottles that we found were 8 snuffs, 2 C. J. Hargan Blobs, 2 Burgoyne Hutch sodas, 2 Cj Hargan Hutches, 1 Diehl & Danbury Hutch, 3 Knox Druggists, an A. Renkert Druggist and quite a few misc. bottles. We look forward to next week but we can't wait until New Years Day for the third and final hole on the lot we dug on the previous 2 weeks. It will take 2 days to finish that monster. Til then, see ya next week !
