Hi all. I've only posted in here once (open pontil ink) Our diggin season is pretty much over for 2011 as we already have an inch or two of frost here at 8500 ft ,and more up higher,probably could find some ground soft enough on sun exposed slopes. Anyway thought I'd share some of our pit/dump diggin up here in the Rockies.
My brother & I ,have been hunting up old things since we were kids growin up in Denver/Central City/Cripple Creek ,our bottle bug/obsession ,bit us very hard in our late teens,early 20s.and has never left.Now were in our 50s and still manage to find some glass and enjoy the sun on a summer day.
The privy dig pictured here was actually from last summer(2010) My brother was doing a remodel job for a guy In CC and got permission to do some diggin on his 5 lots. This is one of the privys we found. Appx 4-5ft deep ,first shovel full Rory filps out the paneled "Jaynes expextorant" he hands me the shovel , I flip a shovel full of dirt out of the hole,go for my second shovel full of dirt and see a Hutch neck sticking up ,reached down and pulled it out,Beautiful CC Hutch The hole went on to produce quite a haul for us ,a paper label under glass flask,a druggist bottle from Prince Edward Island(no pic ) and a maverick (what I believe to be) Boston druggist (will get a pic of it on ) Great day ,Good dig. Hope you enjoy !!!! more digs to come. HD
