Bottle dig

[MonkeyBoy]

I went out late yesterday for a bottle dig in an old dump... nothing like digging those 5 foot holes!! Managed a few good ones.. love the inks... they still have remnants of the labels on them!! The brown squat whisky has no seems so not sure on the age... the other one might be a pickle?? Not sure... enjoy!

No.. plain.. the closet match I could find was for a mineral water and it has iron stains around the neck.. much like the stoppers they used but it just has the "look" of whiskey to me..

Yes, it is a Balt bromo... we get lots of them around here.. and Oh yeah.. pontil bottles are the ones we are looking for... just have to get through the first 5 or 6 feet of the dump first!!!

Thanks for the reference.. have to say a little disheartening... since that puppy was pretty deep!! I don't think we will ever reach the "good" layer at this point... way too deep!
