Mini Privy with Bottle Cache
June 27, 2009
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 brickliner. 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, an applied top cone ink, 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.
