Hey Robby,

You certainly have built up a bit of suspense with this thread. Are those Lady's Legs multiplying?

I see that you signed in to TNet yesterday & again this morning. I wish you would take the time to show & tell some more on this fascinating table top of bottles.

"And, then..."

Okay, then, pardon my impatience.

When I see a group of excellent bottles like that, I normally wanna learn more. I'd be interested in the story of your discovery of the site...

At this point, I'd like to know how long you've been digging bottles? Are any of the case gins embossed? Anything impressed on the stoneware? What's the story on the olive oil looking guy on the right? Are both of the squares Dr. Hostetter's?

"Dyspepsia's pangs, that rack and grind
The body, and depress the mind;
Slow constitutional decay,
That brings death nearer, day by day;
Nervous prostration, mental gloom,
Agues, that, as they go and come,
Make life a constant martyrdom;
Colics and dysenteric pains,
'Neath which the strong man's vigor wanes;
Bilious complaints, -- those tedious ills,
Ne'er conquered yet by drastic pills;
Dread Diarrhea, that cannot be
Cured by destructive Mercury;
Heralds of madness or the tomb;
For these, though Mineral nostrums fail,
Means of relief at last we hail,
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS medicine sure,
Not to prevent, alone, but cure.

-- Hostetter's United States Almanac, 1867" Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters

Will you take your camera with you on the next outing to this site? What of the unsung shardage?
