Here’s a few more from the cabinet of digs. Only one that was not dug is the Louisville Double Eagle. I need to get the travelers flask tumbled but it is super thin. Not sure how it survived the drop into the privy. It’s unlisted variant as well which is cool. Love this post as I really only collect flasks. Keep em coming. Regards, JGAS.

That's a beauty, Harry. Here's one of only two that I have, a GII-93.
That limestone bottom is very hard on bottles. I think I found one intact Romeo soda near the boat ramp in Dunnellon. Fossils, yes. Artifacts, yes. Bottles, no. The flask is a good recovery.
here is one I found on the Oregon coast a few years ago. That was an odd day, my son and I walked about a mile across the dunes to the coast and there scattered all around were bottles of a similar age that had just freshly washed up. We stuffed our pockets and coats...we even found a five gallon bucket that had washed in and filled that up too. We took all we could carry but had to leave several right where they lay. I always figured some old privy had finally eroded into the sea and we were just there at the right tide on the right day.
