Hello all from the great midwest. The hot and sticky midwest
I figure since we were digging pretty deep I told Don "Lets go all the way to Paris." Well maybe not literally go there but at least we could find a bottle from there
Started out the two day adventure with a small trash pit which really ended up pretty good. Got a nice local crown top quart beer/soda and an Orange Julip bottle. Finished this pit and went on to the next one. Or we thought it was one but actually turned out to be two side by side. Now it was on to the task of digging next to a huge tree and we know what we all find around trees......ROOTS So after hacking, chopping, cutting and cursing we finally broke through to the layers of thin ash. These pits were pretty old by the lack of coal ash. This was more wood ash than anything else. Got down around the 5 foot level and we could clearly see that there were two side by side pits. One side had mostly pottery and shattered bottles. the other side they seemed to have thrown in a few intact items.
So we took our time and pulled out a few keepers. Don snagged a nice LH Thomas Ink and I got the blank cone ink. Then I pulled out a Honey Amber Brown's Iron Bitters. Then another one and some small non descript medicines. Then I hit it!!!
PARIS....or at least a bottle that says Paris Injection Brau Never seen one of these before. Not really sure what it was for?? Finished out the pits with some glass buttons and the huge Mace looking glass. If you got hit with that in a bar fight you would feel it from your head to your toes We tried to concur another pit but ended up striking ash after ash after ash. Nothing in these pits. We did manage to get our fix on muscle pain by digging a 10 footer that ended up with river rocks at the bottom.
But all in all it was a most enjoyable two days. Nothing like flinging several tons of dirt, reaching Paris, and then going for a Fruitista at Taco Bell! Only in America Hope ya enjoy the pics, and be safe out there jgas
