2011 Finds

[Mauidigger]

Last year we did alot of digging at a common spot on the North Shore of Maui, the whole area is pretty much dug up but we found an area that was deeper (6ft) and started finding keepers. In that one hole my son pulled out 8 milks (Haleakala, Puunene Dairy's, and 1-Hawaii Dairy), 2- Christmas Cokes,(Patent Dec 25 1923 with Maui TH on base), 3 variations of the K. Akahoshi med, numerous abm sodas, and this ginger beer. Does anybody know anything about this bottle, get chinese writing and also Wing Lee Wai China? Also alot of these bottles were 'sick', any tips on getting them clean. Thanks

That's a great dig!... First time seeing a "chinese ginger beer". Very nice and maybe rare. About that bottle try this site...

808beginnerdigger thanks for the hook up to that site, I did see a variation of the same bottle and also some neat ginger jars, which we also found. The funny thing was, we never knew what it (ginger jar) was (thought it was an urn at first) and almost left it behind. We do find alot of marbles but no tags/bangos yet. Mauidigger
