Dug 99 bottles
Greetings fellow T Netters, today I dug my first outhouse of a 1800 homestead in SW Minnesota. I used to let the weather tell me what I can or cannot do, But today I told the snow to wait Until I was done digging . To my surprise it listened. Right away I saw and knew that this was it. the one place I was going to begin finding something. after only the the first layer of ground I found shards of glass and broken pottery. So I kept digging down, down, down and began carefully clearing out 5 gallon bucketfuls of dirt. Finally, the mother-load at about 3 feet to 6 feet down. Bottle after full bottle was popping out. I dug for about 5 hours and found over 100 bottles. The bottles sizes range from teeny asprin size up to the big brown HI-LEX jug. If you know anything about bottles please shoot me an e-mail. This is my first time in the hole. Oh did I mention I found some small animal bones and kid's marbles. I am pooped and it is snowing at about an inch an hour it's time for some Hot Cocoa. I will clean the bottles and post them once again. did you know wrong end of the stick started in the outhouse.

Man you are hard core, congrats on such a good score. Please post the cleaned finds and I might be able to help to ID the age of some of them.
