Cripple creek ice cream sods bottle, whiskey!

[diggingthe1]

I went out detecting before a little cold snap tomorrow. I ended up with more bottles than anything else. I think the cows kick them out of the ridges sometimes. Eyeballed one which led to 2 more. I think I have the biggest Whitmore collection The ice cream bottle is a good one for a soda bottle. It is a little warped but arnt we all. There are a few Pieffers left in Cripple Creek. I love the color of the whiskey. I am blown away at the old bottles you all dig, sure love seeing them. The metal piece reads National Biscut Co. Happy digging!! View attachment 1513170

Great bottles....yea every time I go detecting my old sites I end up probing around and then don't do any detecting due to being sidetracked by glass. I suppose I could have worse problems. BTW didn't the Grateful Dead sing about Cripple Creek? Or was that someone else.....

I have that problem also, I love old glass. It is so much fun to find a old trash pit!!! It was the"Band" that sang " up on cripple creek"

Man, those are great bottles to find on the surface. There must be a nice dump nearby.

Thanks Scruggs and cje, if there is I sure hope I can find it. Lots of times they just the stuff off the sides into gullies.

Congrats !!! You not only found Cripple Creeks last embossed bottle ,you also found its only machine made bottle ! Back in the 80s we dug 7 of them out of one hole, probably found 12 over 34 years
