3 Hutchs in about 30 mins !!! and a couple of nice meds

[PikesPeakCharlie]

It has been a loooooooooong time since I got any bots ! Got a spur of the moment permission to family friends property in Cripple Creek, They are selling the property and called to tell me you only got a couple days to poke around , if you want ,,,, I WANT ! . Got there early this morning and it was nice out but cold,put on another layer, grabbed the probe and stuck a pit in probably 10 mins , within 30 or so mins I had 3 hutchs and 1 fairly rare local med & a rare one from Manitou. Anyway total spent about 3 hrs before I was wore out. It was sooo good to get out and find some glass with minimal effort,,,,,, I still got it HH . The Standard Bottling hutch dates 1897-1898 the 2 Cripple Creek bottling hutch's date the same . The National drug store dates to the 1890s and the Fox druggists from Manitou dates 1892 to 1897 and has a rarity of 5 with 5 being the rarest .

Cliff, I got a grocery bag of some patent meds , food, and some plain janes. I definitely want to apologize ! that you didn’t get an invite . Kim has known the owners since she was a kid,the permission was only for us,, I sure could have used your help !!!! Hope I can get another chance before the buyers close or the ground is froze.

Nice bottles! I've only found one hutch out here, a mug base Colorado Lithia Water Co with a chunk out of the top... It's nice to know there are still more out there to be found!

I bet you couldn't have been happier. What a treat. I hope you can get back there also. No need at all to appologize, if you run into too many pits give me a call. People are funny, it's much easier to get a permission by yourself. Those pictures sure stir up the bottle fever. Nothing better than to start out a dig by popping out bottles. I have to say again how much I love those pictures!!!
